Marchen Maze (メルヘンメイズ) is an arcade game that was released by Namco in 1988 only in Japan. It runs on Namco System 1 hardware, and was later ported to the Sharp X68000 and TurboGrafx-16 platforms.
In the game (loosely inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland), the player controls Alice who moves over a scrolling platform, knocking enemies off the edge with a bubble blower. Holding the fire button down generates bigger bubbles. The enemies shoot marbles which can cause Alice to fall off the edge unless they are avoided or jumped over. This game also features voice samples (in Japanese).
[edit] Trivia
Yujin released gashapon figures of Alice and the White Rabbit as part of the "Namco Girls" collection.
