Globus, the most sophisticated robot in the universe, has been put under your control in order to rid the "Xenon" planet of its total destruction. To achieve it you must restore the energy level of all sectors of the central reactor. Avoid the robots that the enemy sends to sabotage your mission. Deactivate the bombs before it's too late! Globus was developed for the popular ZX Spectrum computer in 1987 and remained unpublished until its release in 2017, 30 years later! Now you can enjoy this new version of that old game, which retains the same graphics, music and sound effects than the original ZX Spectrum version, and improves movement, score and gameplay in general.

About

Ghost Maze 3D

Features
Read full description

The player navigates through a maze containing various dots and four colored ghosts. The goal of the game is to accumulate points by eating all the dots in the maze, completing that 'level' of the game and starting the next level and maze of dots. The four ghosts roam the maze, trying to kill the player. If any of the ghosts hit the player, he loses a life; when all lives have been lost, the game is over. [Adventure Mode] In the adventure mode, the scene will evolve into a variety of different 3D mazes. The player has also added jumping ability to avoid ghosts. When the player gets bombs, he can also place a bomb to attack the ghosts. There are also various obstacles in the maze that can kill the player, such as flames, electricity, etc. In addition, in the fourth level, some paths are hidden one-way, and some intersections are forbidden to turn. You must discover the secrets of them to pass the level. [Classic Mode] Near the corners of the maze are four larger, flashing dots known as Power Pellets that provide the player with the temporary ability to eat the ghosts and earn bonus points. The ghosts turn deep blue, reverse direction and move more slowly. When a ghost is eaten, its return to the center box where the ghost is regenerated in its normal color. Blue enemies flash white to signal that they are about to become dangerous again and the length of time for which the enemies remain vulnerable varies from one level to the next, generally becoming shorter as the game progresses. There are also fruits, located directly below the center box, that appear twice per level; eating one of them results in bonus points (100-5,000). Enjoy it!
