I've uploaded a new version of my "Haunted Maze" game,  (A 3D 3rd person
action game, if
you have not tried it already.)

It's about 200Kb, binary-only, NTSC and PAL, and temporarily available from:
http://www.iit.edu/~fedeedw/hmazebin.zip
Since it'll be a while before it's up on the SCEA pages and mirrored to
SCEE.

(The original source is on my Net Yaroze page, and the updated source will
go up soon,
to replace the old version.)

I can't test the PAL version, so I'd really appreciate it if some PAL users
can give it a try and
let me know if it is okay...

I'm mostly wondering:
1)  Does the "60 second timer" really take 60 seconds in PAL mode?
2)  Does the screen display okay in all three camera views, without any
parts getting
     cut off or sides of the maze poping into and out of view?
3)  Does it show in color?  (I'm keeping the screen res at 640x480, even in
PAL mode,
     which I don't know if thats valid, instead of 640x512.)
4)  Is it generally "centered" okay?  Can you see all the score and "goodie
count/exit open"
     text?
5)  Since it needs to run without double buffering, does it ever "glitch"
and "flicker" due to
     not meeting the 50Hz(?) screen refresh time?

One day I may get a dual-mode TV, but until then, I'm afraid I need to rely
on the kindness
of my SCEE Net Yaroze friends!

Thanks!
