Firstly, congratulations to Steve on his world record 22nd entry to the CGC.
This entry takes us all the way back to 1971, and you are a primary school teacher trying to evade the milk snatching talons of Margaret Thatcher.
It’s actually a pretty nice maze game, the object of which is to run around the school desks collecting milk and giving it to the pupil most in need. Instead of the traditional symptoms of malnutrition, this game demonstrates need for milk by the sprite flashing on and off! Once delivered, another carton appears elsewhere in the maze (you can only carry one at a time naturally) and you continue until you’ve done 12 pints or Maggie gets you. The further you progress in this maze Maggie seems to become better at chasing you, to the point that it does get pretty frantic toward the end of each level (Steve informs me Maggie uses A* pathfinding!).
MT:MS has plenty of crap qualities but I must confess to being disappointed to have completed it so quickly, so it can’t be that bad eh?
The game is silent, apart
from when Maggie does catch you, and
you hear her utter those terrifying words… “I
want milk”.
(either that or ‘I like pomme frites’, I can’t quite tell).
Thankyou Steve! There’ll be an appropriate prize with your name on it at the end of the year.
