Mind Maze is played somewhat like those old mind reading experiments where a scientist would hold up a card and ask a person to tell him what was on the other side. Depending on the game selected, two to four cards appear on the screen each round. The player then must try and guess the 'correct' card by highlighting it (using the joystick) and pressing the fire button.

TRIVIA

Originally called Mind Race. it was never released to the public.

Although Mind Maze is constantly listed as being a MindLink game, this prototype doesn't appear to use or require the MindLink controller. However, according to the programmers, Mind Maze was definitely meant to be a MindLink game. It was supposed to be the first Atari game based on the unproven theory of ESP (Extra Sensory Perception). Mind Maze was ultimately scrapped due to to the limited appeal of the game.
