Nazoler Land is a Spectrum version of the maze mini game from the 1987 FDS game of the same name by Sunsoft. At the start you are given control options and the option to turn the in-game music on or off. Do not select on.

You are a blob with two eyes who must negotiate your way through several mazes. The number of the maze you are in is shown in the top left in green. Various numbers that can be found in the maze work like teleports, or lifts, and take you to that maze number.

It would be easy were it not for the fact that each maze is filled with 'T' shaped doors that rotate to let you through, but they only rotate two ways and must be pushed from the right direction to let you past. There's no enemies. This is a pure puzzler. You'll find yourself racking your brains to find the way to the next level.

Graphics are basic and functional. They do the job. The in-game music does not. It gets tiresome after about five minutes, no hair left by ten, driving you insane if you somehow manage fifteen.

I preferred silence whilst massaging the old grey matter before the abomination they decided to call music turned me into a gibbering loony. If you like puzzle games you might enjoy this. If you don't you'll probably hate it, especially if you forget to turn the music off.
