Somebody has recompiled #AtariST MIDI Maze to run on #macOS. Apparently the MIDI networking isn't functional, but playing against bots works.

16 people playing MidiMaze on Atari ST at the same time. A screen capture of MidiMaze, an early multiplayer FPS shooter on Atari ST. The players appear as big smiley spheres in a 3D labyrinth.

I wonder if they were familiar with MIDImaze... this was prior to the GB port as Faceball 2000!

Don't call yourself a real ball and gun gamer unless you've played Midi Maze/Faceball

FYI we're going to do a big MidiMaze II session soon at GemTos, but I don't know if it'll be a 12 or 16 players setup. Last year we were limited to 4 machines :)

Game 5 - Midimaze. A regular at the Con has assembled a bunch of Atari STs that he brings out just for this event. He got the original code and blessing from the German designer and now runs this game a few times during the Con. Old school fun. Wish I could use WASD instead of a janky joystick.
A screenshot of the AtariST game Midi Maze. It's a multiplayer First Person Shooter where the players are multicolored smiley faces wondering around a simple maze shooting balls at each other. On this screen the score is across the top, you can see a simple first person maze and a green smiley face looking off to the left.

The bytes sent to a MIDI interface must respect a certain protocol. So it is not possible to run Midimaze on a #zest machine that would use a usb Midi interface (this is what I'm currently working on).
Since Midimaze is the most well known (the only?) application of MIDI as a local network of […]

@tastenzeux Jepp, Steinberg! 😍 Und Signum als Textverarbeitung war qualitätsmäßig dem Rest weit voraus, Und Oxyd und MIDImaze!
Ich gestehe, ich war Fanboy: 520ST+, 1040STF und ein Falcon standen mal hier.

@Sarnau disassembled MIDI-Maze (one of the earliest FPS LAN game, on Atari ST), made it work on Mac and released all the commented C source code :owi:

Quite incredible 😮

One 1994 issue of MSXFAN has a bit on DH Shooter, a MIDIMaze style proto-FPS. Were they cloning Faceball 200 directly? Hmm.
