Labyrinth 2 by Sergey R.V. (Russia)
I'm puzzled about this game. It has two versions and three entries on the ZXDB as follows:

1.
First you have this one: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=34316 categorized as Game: Puzzle

The TRD is 640 KB in size (I suppose is a full disk image, including blanks).
The file is labeled: LABYR2.1 and the game looks like this:

2.
The other entry is https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=21074 categorized as Arcade Game: Maze
It has two TRD.

First on, version 2.0

The file is labeled: Lab V2.0 and looks like the [1.] entry:

The other one:

The file is labeled: Lab V2.1 and seems to be the game that matches the screenshots:

3. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=34308 categorized as Arcade Game: Maze
It's pretty similar to [1.]. But no TRD's, and no screencaptures.

So, I think:
- [1.] should be categorized as Arcade Game: Maze.
- [2.] Seems to be a bundle of the two versions, and also has an extra developer credited, so, I think might be OK.
- [3.] Looks like a duplicate.

Cheers Dru,

Case 3 is definitely a duplicate, as are all 3 below. I raised them in error from some uMIA announced by Ralf, they were meant to be deleted at the last update but strained bones truncated the list :-)

34307, Kolobok
34308, Labyrinth2
34309, Autodrome
- [1.] should be categorized as Arcade Game: Maze.
Ta, noted for the big shakeup of the Maze Genres.
