It was the first videogame I ever played but I have never known it's title.

The level layout is a labyrinth and it was sprawling with spiders and larvaes and possibly other creatures. I think you were able to shoot these creatures, different colors meaning stronger creatures. That's all I got. I've been googling but haven't found anything yet. Please help.

(I described just about every Vic 20 title didn't I?)

The only title I can think of like that was

though I'm pretty sure it only came out for the 64. THe Vic was pretty limited in regards to gaming.

 

[Wollan]

Nope that's not it. I don't think the game scrolled(though Im not sure as I was 3-4 years old) but had the complete level layed out.

Whoa, hadn't thought of that game in years.

I remember it well on the 64, remember it scaring the hell out of me, there was one monster in it that was hell on wheels.

how sure are you that it was a VIC game?

How NeoGAF remembers the 80s:

We still have the console around(broken) and my older brother re-confirmed that it was the machine we used(never had anything else at that time to be honest).

:lol @ the tape drive and the row of cassettes on the shelf.

Computing was beige in the 80's, no doubt.

Was it action-oriented or turn based?

The only other thing I can thing of at the time that fits that description was Night Stalker for the Intellivision though it wasn't much of a maze type game.

The only games I played on the Vic were OmegaRace and Gorf, both in cartridge form (as opposed to tape).

CHeck out this link, see if any of the names ring a bell.

It may have been this game. It looks very alike but I feel I would have remembered it more clearly if that was it. I can vividly remember white spiders crawling around those labyrints.

Edit: No, this is definetly not that game.

 

[SuomiDude]

Could it be Dragon Maze?

EDIT: Damn, browsed some other games as well and saw Snake Pit. I loved that game, but never knew its name. I also remember some horse game where you were riding a horse and shoot other people riding horse. And then there was a maze game where you had to go through a maze and there was some spider following you which could go through walls. Damn it was challenging.


EDIT2: Scorpion?

 

[Wollan]

Nope, not that either. Sorry for not having more clues guys.

Do you remember the name of this one?

 

[SuomiDude]

Do you remember the name of this one?

Nope. I'm currently trying to find more about it, but it sure was nice (Check out my edit above btw)


EDIT: I also still have the damn system and couple of games, from which 3 are on a seperate carts: Raid on Fort Knox, Sargon II Chess and Omega Race.

 

[Wollan]

Nope, wasnt scorpion. You mentioned a spider that could jump over the walls, I think this actually may have been an aspect of the game.

Well in the game I speak of, the mazes were single screen, no scrolling. And there was nothing but your main character and the single spider creature chasing you around the maze. I never got past 4th level (I think), so I don't know how many levels there was in total.
