Reception[edit]

Dick Olney for Personal Computer World said "Overall, this is undoubtably one of the best games of its type which I've played on the ZX81.[2]

Arthur B. Hunkins for Compute! said "Mazogs is an excellent, single-player, treasure/maze game [...] Its full screen graphics make excellent use of the Sinclair/Timex capability."[3]

Fred Blechman for Electronic Fun with Computers & Games said "Highly recommended - unless you already have high blood pressure."[4]
