game">computer-moderated</a>, fantasy, turn-based game. It was published in 1986 by Pegasus Productions as a <a href="/wiki/Play-by-mail" class="mw-redirect" title="Play-by-mail">play-by-mail</a> game. <a href="/wiki/Reality_Simulations" title="Reality Simulations">Reality Simulations</a> later took over game moderation. The game itself has been played with multiple versions. The initial design, released in 1986, was replaced by the "Second Cycle" in 1991, offering changes to the kingdoms and game's history. The 3rd Cycle—"The Choosing"—emerged in 2015, doubling the available kingdoms while providing modifications to them. The publisher made additional changes to the player–game interface by 2017. In February 2019, Alamaze.co published the 4th Cycle, the world of Maelstrom, after two years of development. The game is currently run by Alamaze.co as a <a href="/wiki/Play-by-mail_game#Closed_versus_open_ended" title="Play-by-mail game">closed-end</a>, play-by-email (PBEM) game in a <a href="/wiki/Turn-based" class="mw-redirect" title="Turn-based">turn-based</a> format.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the latest game cycles, twelve players per game choose from eighteen possible kingdoms, employ various available characters, and strive for victory. Winning players achieve dominance of the map, meet the victory conditions of their respective kingdom, or have the greatest number of status points. </p><p><i>Alamaze</i> received multiple reviews in the 1980s and 1990s. These were mainly positive, with some noting challenges with the publication company in the period, which were noted largely resolved. <i>Alamaze</i> has also received a number of awards, to include the <a href="/wiki/Origins_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Origins Award">Origins Award</a> for "Best Play-by-Mail Game of 1987", and high marks in the Best PBM Game category in <i><a href="/wiki/Paper_Mayhem" title="Paper Mayhem">Paper Mayhem</a></i> magazine in 1987 and 1989. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Publication_history">Publication history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Alamaze&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Publication history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Alamaze</i> was a computer-moderated play-by-mail game designed by Rick McDowell.<sup id="cite_ref-dragon_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dragon-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was born in 1983 as an idea for a fantasy game.<sup id="cite_ref-Flad86_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Flad86-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> An initial playtest involved six "local gaming aficianados" and resulted in a computer-moderated game using two <a href="/wiki/Megabytes" class="mw-redirect" title="Megabytes">megabytes</a> of <a href="/wiki/RAM" class="mw-redirect" title="RAM">RAM</a>.

Gray liked the computer moderation, and the priority number of each possible order. He did have issues with the high-level spells he was given, finding them underpowered. Gray also didn't like the fact that "an enemy player can hit and run before you can catch him. For example, an enemy group can show up at one of my towns on one turn, then attack the town on the next turn, capture it, and move away before I can catch it. I can use an agent to find out where the group went, but unless I am lucky, it can always stay one jump ahead of me." Gray also found $6 per turn to be very high for a game that might last as long as 40 turns, and warned that players would have to spend a lot of time (and possibly a lot of money on long-distance charges) in order to coordinate with other players.
