Midi Maze  Hybrid Arts (Xanth Software F-X)1987Midi-Maze is a 1-16 player, 3D first-person-shooter published in 1987. Midi-Maze is a 1-16, player [b]3D first-person-shooter[/b] published in [b][i]1987[/i][/b]. Just wanted to be clear on that point. Players are treated to fully 3D walls in a large maze where they hunt each other in full color at an impossibly smooth frame rate. Its name comes from the use of the MIDI interface to establish a network between as many as 16 Atari STs. STs each have a MIDI IN and MIDI OUT port. A complete ring needed to be formed so that every machine was connected to 2 others, otherwise communications were too slow for more than 4 players. All players are represented by spherical smiley faces that spit balls at each other, [i]deadly balls[/i]. A tagline for the game was "[s]Put on[/s][b][color=FF0000]KILL[/color][/b] a happy face" and is meant to evoke humor rather than violence. Unlike the endless string of bloodstorms that would follow, the game's theme was widely considered safe for all ages. It wasn't even censored when Xanth Software created versions for Nintendo's platforms; where it was known as Faceball.

[b]Requirements[/b]:
520 ST or later, 512 KB RAM, disk drive, digital Joystick, keyboard, or mouse, MIDI cables required for multiplayer, optional Hard Drive Install. Comes on a single-sided 5.25" disk

But 1987's may not really the the world's first multiplayer [game=#168991]3D first-person-shooter[/url]

[b]Tags[/b]:
Should be "Xanth Software F/X" not "Xanth Software F" / "X"
