Zenji

When working with computers for some time you tend to end up like Spock; everything you do is done by logic. Well, here is a game where you have to use your intuition instead.

Zenji is a maze of passages, but the maze is broken into separate pieces. The idea of the game is to connect the pieces and complete the maze.

This is done by moving a cursor from piece to piece and turning them around till they all connect. Doesn't sound much fun, does it? I have to admit when I first played the game I thought it to be a load of rubbish. I was getting nowhere.

I was trying to do it logically, so I tried again and went by my instinct and got on really well. (Could this be the power of Zenji?)

You have a choice of joysticks you can use, which is needed as you play this game against the clock. Points can be gained whenever you make a complete connection.

The first maze is small but as you progress, the maze increases in size, and in the later stages you are chased about by small flames which burn you up.

Although a simple game I found that I couldn't put it down which is a sign of a good game.
