%% Description stolen from Wikipedia.
''[=MadMaze=]'' was an online video game playable through the now-defunct Prodigy service. It was designed by Eric Goldberg and developed by Creator/GregCostikyan in 1989, and was the first online game to draw over a million players. The game disappeared in 1999 with the death of the Prodigy service, but has since been rehosted by fans of the game, with permission from the service and the game's creator.

Pull the wrong ones, the structure collapses on you and you die. You're supposed to pull the rods with a prime number to succeed. Goldberg evidently forgot that 2 is a prime number. Pull on the 2 rod, you die. The rods you're supposed to pull are [[spoiler:3, 5, and 7]].

* SequenceBreaking: The game has no EventFlags and does not track your inventory, so it's possible to get through puzzles that require a particular object or spell by just acting like you already have it. To prevent this from trivially breaking the game, players are required to select the correct magic word to activate whatever they're using -- though of course, that works less well on later playthroughs.

* PasswordSave: The Cipher seems to have been intended as one -- certain points in the game give you a poem, and by reciting that poem at the title screen you can be returned to that point. However, the game also has a fully-functioning ''actual'' save system, making the Cipher redundant -- which is probably why there aren't a whole lot of Cipher points in the game anyway.
