Reviews for Caves of the Spiders (#13327)

This maze game filled with spiders (you won't see any other baddie) was published as type-in in a particular book, for that matter alone I think it's good enough. It's shows ways of using the programming skills you could develop by exploring the listing. I myself learned to program that way. But as a game in itself it's very basic and not compelling. You move around a maze which always looks the same, and encounter dozens of spiders in each. Your goal is to find the exit. But it becomes so repetitive and boring that the few appeal it may have wears out very quickly.
