Trivia:
1) MIDI Maze introduced the concept of deathmatch combat to usual users (first introduced in Maze War 1973).
While in the 1980s no home computer featured real networking support beside serial-cable connections between two computers, Midi Maze is using a trick to connect up to 16 players: as the Atari ST is having Midi-in and Midi-out connectors for keyboards and sound equipment, these were used to build up a ring-network. Computer 1 Midi-Out is connected to Computer 2 Midi-In, Computer 2 Midi-Out is connected to Computer 3 Midi-In and so forth with the last computer connecting again to Computer-1. This builds a very cheap network for more than two Atari ST computers.
2) First fast (by today standarts) gameplay in 3D game.
3) Plot:You are Smiley, your mission - defend your color in Midi sixteen notes and kill bas notes.

4) Emulated in: SainT
