[edit] Peculiar Terminology
What exactly is isomorphic perspective? Isomorphic is a math word, but it doesn't generally refer to perspective. There is a kind of projection called isometric, but it's not what Maze War does. The usual name for the Maze War projection is one point perspective. Tom Duff 00:22, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] error?
I removed "Soon after, the Imlacs were networked to the IBM 1800, and Greg Thompson (later founder of nCube) modified the game to use the network." from the article; so far, I have not found any evidence of Maze connection to an 1800. I will try to remember to ask GT. -- 68.160.131.181 19:34, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] research
while mostly based on digibarn materials, some of this article is based on email I have exchanged with client authors. I will endeavor to have this added to the digibarn site. -- 68.160.131.181 19:34, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Yet another version
There was yet another version of Maze Wars. This one was created around 1983 by network developers at Apple Computer. This version was called Bus'd Out and was used to debug the original AppleTalk networking stack (later called LocalTalk) on early Macintosh systems. The one oddity is that it only operated on the modem port (rather than the typical printer port for early AppleTalk networking).
