GB Monster Maze
A downloadable game for Windows
Based on the 1982 Sinclair ZX81 classic, "3D Monster Maze", conceptualised by J.K. Greye and programmed by Malcolm Evans, GB Monster Maze is an interpretation of what I believe the game would look like, had it been adapted and released for the Nintendo Game Boy.
There are two gameplay modes: Modern and Classic, the latter of which is essentially a direct port of the original. The former, however, has been achieved through basic raycasting, the same method used to create games such as Wolfenstein 3D.
Controls:
The controls have been translated from the Game Boy as shown below, and do as expected. A basic rundown of the in-game controls can be found on the main menu, although they are fairly self explanatory.
If the default colour palette is unpleasant for you, there are alternate palettes that can be accessed by using the arrow keys on the startup screen, à la Game Boy.

What a fantastic idea! I now and then still play Monster Maze 3D (emulated) and find it one of the most thrilling experiences. That darn dinosaur still gets me screaming now and then. ;) Your adaption for the gameboy is very welcome so I can also play this game on my pocket devices. Thank you so much for making it, I'll try it this evening. :)
edit: Ah only know I do understand that it isn't a game for the gameboy, but an idea how it could have looked...
