Madness and the Minotaur is a text adventure game that includes elements of a D&D game and a non-turn-based action game. You have “hit points” (physical condition) and you will die when they run out. There are creatures that move from room to room once a minute. If you sit still long enough a creature will find you and kill you. Your pack has bulk and weight. The more you carry and the lower your hit-points the harder it is for you to jump.
To win the game you have to learn all 8 spells and drop all 16 treasures in the forest (room 202). The spells are sprinkled around the maze at random (within limits). Five of the six moving creatures in the game carry treasures. The packrat carries a treasure as does the Hydra. There is a ledge and a pit with treasures. The crypt and the crypt of the ancient king both have treasures. There is a mystical pile of rocks with a treasure. The remaining four are littered in the maze at random … one of them is particularly illusive. See “Getting Treasures” below for complete details.
You type “CLOADM” to load the game. Then you type “EXEC” to run the game. Between these commands you can make patches to the code with BASIC POKE commands. Here are some useful cheats:
39->1A2F POKE 6703,57 Invulnerable from damage 21->78D POKE 1933,33 Lamp doesn’t burn oil 21->11CD POKE 4557,33 ASK ORACLE any time
There are 256 rooms in the game -- 4 floors of 64 rooms each. Each floor is a square grid of 8x8 rooms. Rooms are numbered from 0 to 255. Room 0 is the upper left of the first floor and room 255 is the lower right of the last floor. Going EAST adds 1 to the room number. WEST subtracts one. NORTH subtracts 8. SOUTH adds 8. UP subtracts 64. DOWN adds 64. If the room number becomes less than 0 or greater than 255 it “wraps around”.
There is a table in the game that defines the “natural” passages between rooms. Most of these passages are two way, but some are one way. The map below shows the natural passages as line between the rooms. If the line touches the room with a “+” then the passage can be entered from the room. If there is no “+” then the passage is one way into the room. For instance, you can take the passage from room 7 to 6 but not from 6 to 7. This map is NOT randomized between games. This map is the same for all games.
Every room has a single one-sentence description (see the code). There are eight different messages to describe a passage leading from a room in any one direction. The game builds the description of passages by selecting a random description for each open direction. Thus a room is described a little bit differently every time you see it.
The game keeps a list of “blocked” passages. Randomly (on the average of once every 4 minutes) the ground will begin to shake and three passages are blocked somewhere in the dungeon. The game keeps a list of the last 12 rooms it has blocked. It pulls the oldest rooms from this list and unblocks them as it blocks new ones. Thus only 12 can be blocked up by the shaking ground and the dungeon doesn’t get clogged up completely over time. You can use the CROM spell to unblock all passages in a room. If you have the POWERRING in your pack you can walk through blocked passages.
The last three rows (40 rooms) of the every floor is the “maze of tunnels stretching in all directions”. These behave like normal rooms, but they all share the same room description and they all have full connectivity to their neighboring maze rooms. There is also limited entry and exit to the maze. Note that all the rooms on the 4th floor (except the treasure room) are a “maze of tunnels” even though the first 5 rows are laid out like the first 5 rows of the other floors.
There are 24 places in the dungeon where you can jump. The map shows these jump locations and where they go. The map also shows landing points for jumps so you can quickly reference back to the starting room. For instance, “j:102” in room 38 means that you can jump into room 38 from room 102.
All jumps check your dexterity ... your physical-condition minus the weight of your pack. Each jump has a dexterity requirement to succeed. If your dexterity is less than this value you fail, and each jump has its own description of what to do for a failure.
You start the game with the maximum physical condition of 255. The maximum for weight is 255. The maximum for bulk is 255.
A failed jump can end in instant “death”. Or a failed jump can end in a “fumble” in which case you actually make the jump but you drop the heaviest object you are carrying in the room you jumped from. Or a failed jump can end in a “stumble” where you don’t make the jump and you take a specific amount of damage. Here is the jump table:
From 143 "JUMP PIT" to 151. Required=128 or DEATH From 151 "JUMP PIT" to 143. Required=128 or FUMBLE From 16 "JUMP POOL" to 17. Required=128 or FUMBLE From 17 "JUMP POOL" to 16. Required=128 or FUMBLE From 78 "JUMP CHASM" to 86. Required=64 or FUMBLE From 86 "JUMP CHASM" to 78. Required=64 or FUMBLE From 44 "JUMP PIT" to 182. Required=10 or STUMBLE(10) From 182 "JUMP PIT" to 44. Required=20 or STUMBLE(20) From 164 "JUMP PIT" to 202. Required=160 or DEATH From 133 "JUMP PIT" to 203. Required=192 or FUMBLE From 144 "JUMP" to 133. Required=20 or STUMBLE(20) From 203 "JUMP PIT" to 202. Required=128 or STUMBLE(30) From 213 "JUMP MIST" to 212. Required=70 or STUMBLE(20) From 212 "JUMP MIST" to 213. Required=70 or STUMBLE(20) From 35 "JUMP HOLE" to 34. Required=150 or STUMBLE(40) From 34 "JUMP PIT" to 35. Required=120 or STUMBLE(20) From 128 "JUMP UP" to 64. Required=100 or FUMBLE From 166 "JUMP UP" to 102. Required=80 or FUMBLE From 102 "JUMP UP" to 38. Required=160 or FUMBLE From 92 "JUMP DOWN" to 156. Required=150 or STUMBLE(30) From 70 "JUMP DOWN" to 140. Required=80 or STUMBLE(20) From 94 "JUMP DOWN" to 158. Required=90 or STUMBLE(10) From 64 "JUMP PIT" to 128. Required=30 or DEATH From 202 "JUMP DOWN" to 162. Required=30 or STUMBLE(20)
For instance, the jump description in room 16 says “J:POOL:17:128F”. That means you “JUMP POOL” to get to room 17. The jump requires a dexterity of 128 and if you fail you “fumble” an object. These jumps are NOT randomized. They are same every game.
There are several passages that have action triggers associated with them. You can see these triggers as letters on the passage lines between the rooms. The same triggers are used for multiple passages. Like the passage configurations and the jumps, these triggers are NOT randomized. They are the same for every game:
A If phys minus weight is less than random 64-191 then a climb-up fails. B Moves us to start room 10 (or infrequently in a room near the start) C If phys minus weight is less than 192 then a climb-up fails. D If phys minus weight is less than 64 then a climb-up fails. E If phys minus weight is less than 128 then a climb-up fails. F If the lamp is in our pack this moves us to a totally random room. G There is a 50/50 chance of moving to a random room in the first half of the last two floors. H There is a 50/50 chance of going to a random room in the maze on a random floor. I There is a 35 in 36 chance of moving to a random room in the maze on a random floor.
I believe the designers had intended for these to be randomizable. The data table is stored in the area that is saved to tape along with the other randomizable things. Also note that action A is applied to the EAST/WEST passage between room 74 and 75. But action A specifically checks to see that it is used in an up/down passage or nothing happens. Perhaps these were randomized once and then “locked down” in the code.
There are 36 rooms that are given random “enter actions” at the start of the game. There are only 28 different actions … some are used multiple times. The first 30 action are placed at random. The “room with the music” is also placed at random. The other 5 are fixed.

If so move a and b to random rooms. _c Cave in to next floor if pack heavier than 95.

There are 40 objects in the game. 16 of those are treasures. 8 objects are “protected”, which requires you to have a combination of other objects in your pack in order to pick them up. (Once you have released a protected object it remains unprotected the rest of the game). The 6 creatures are also “protected”. You have to have the combination to kill them.
Every object has a weight and every object has a bulk. In order to pick up an object your combined pack weight (including the new object) must be less than your physical condition. The new combined bulk must be less than your physical condition.
Objects are randomly placed using a combination of random ranges, masks, and a table of target rooms. Most objects are placed outside the maze. The lamp is placed near the starting point so you don’t have to search far for it. The following table shows the weight and bulk (first two values … in hex) and the placement strategy. Objects with “*” are protected (described shortly).

Some of the objects have special abilities:
LAMP - The first 40 rooms of level one and the treasure room (202) are naturally lit. The rest of the rooms need lamp light for you to see. You can LAMP ON and LAMP OFF to turn the lamp on and off.
SCARAB - The AKHIROM spell makes you invulnerable for 3 minutes IF you have the scarab in your pack. Once you are invulnerable you will see the scarab glowing if you “LOOK SCARAB”. At the end of three minutes the scarab moves to a random room.
FOOD - The foods adds 30 to your physical condition (no more than 95). Then the food moves to a random room to be eaten again. You can EAT FOOD.
POWDER - If you EAT POWDER then the URN and BOTTLE (fillable things) come to your current room and the POWDER moves to a random room.
MUSHROOM – Most of the time eating the mushroom adds 60 to your physical condition. Then the mushroom moves to a random room. But be careful: the mushroom has a 1/32 chance of killing you instantly. Save your game before you eat it. You can EAT MUSHROOM.
BOTTLE - The bottle can be filled up with water in several rooms. Drinking the water from the bottle heals your physical condition by 32 points and starts a 16 minute timer. You can only heal up by drinking water once every 16 minutes. You can DRINK WATER. The bottle starts full of water.
You can also attempt to DRINK SPRITE … a pun on the soda drink. You’ll get a “YOU MUST BE JOKING” message.
URN - The urn holds oil to refill the lamp. There is a pool of oil that moves every time you fill from it. You can fill the lamp directly from the pool of oil or you can fill the urn from the pool. In fact, the urn will hold four fills. The number of refills in the pool of oil is randomized at the start of the game from 4 to 7. You can only see the pool of oil when you know ISHTAR. You can FILL URN or FILL LAMP. The URN starts with 4 refills of oils.
FLUTE and PARCHMENT - There is a room in the dungeon (placed at random) that plays music when you enter it. If you PLAY FLUTE and have the parchment in your pack a ledge will appear. You climb the ledge with the rope to get the treasure. You can PLAY FLUTE.
ROPE - You need the rope to climb the ledge for its treasure. You also need the rope to tie up the Hydra before stabbing it. You can TIE HYDRA and CLIMB LEDGE.
TABLET - If you in room 19 (with the ancient carvings on the wall) you can LOOK TABLET to bring the Oracle to the room. The tablet then moves to a random room.
POWERRING - If you have the tablet you can walk through blocked passages. You can also OPEN CRYPT in the “crypt of the ancient king” with the powering. Otherwise your physical condition must be greater than 250 to open it.
SCEPTER - In the room with action “_h” you have to know VETRA or have the SCEPTER or you get pushed out.
POTION - If you DRINK POTION you heal by adding 200 to your physical condition and the potion moves to a random room. There is also a 7/8 chance of curing the scorpion sting if you have been stung. If fact, this is the only way to cure the scorpion sting so keep it on you until you have killed the scorpion.
There is a bug in the code for “DRINK POTION”. If you enter the command but don’t have potion you’ll see “THE BOTTLE IS EMPTY” … even if you don’t have the potion or the bottle.
PENDANT - If you are carrying the PENDANT and enter room 232 from the south then you are moved to a random room near the start (room 10) and the PENDANT drops in a random room.
SCROLL - If you have the scroll you can OPEN SCROLL anywhere on the 3rd or 4th floor to bring the Troglodyte to you.
JEWLBOX - If you open the JEWLBOX in room 158 (the Minotaur’s lair) the Minotaur will appear in the room.
DRAPES - If you OPEN DRAPES in room 9 there is a 1 in 4 chance of opening the passage to the south. You only get one chance at this.
Object marked with a “*” in the table above are protected. You must have a specific set of objects in your pack in order to GET these objects. You can have other objects in your pack too, but you must have all of the combo objects. Once you have freed a protected object it remains free. You can DROP and GET it back without the specific combo on objects in your pack.
There is potential here for a deadlock. Protected object A could require you to have object B but B might be protected and require you have object A. The developers went to great lengths to keep this from happening. Instead of making the trigger-lists at random, they created a handful of possible lists for each object. At startup the game picks a random list from the possible lists for each protected object.
The lists were carefully constructed to avoid a deadlock. Here are the possible protected-object requirements for each object:
SWORD ROPE MITRA PARCHMENT VIAL MUSHROOM, VETAR PARCHMENT, MITRA TALISMAN, MITRA SHIELD SWORD MACE DAGGER SKULL TALISMAN, PENDANT OKKAN SCEPTER POWERRING BELROG SHIELD, SCEPTER, PARCHMENT, OKKAN SHIELD, MACE, SKULL, MITRA SHIELD, SWORD, AKHIROM LIGHTRING POWERRING, CROM, TALISMAN POWERRING, AX, OKKAN POWERRING, ROPE, NERGAL TRUTHRING LIGHTRING, CROM, BASKET LIGHTRING, AX, OKKAN LIGHTRING, FLUTE, AKHIROM SPELLBOOK SKULL, FLUTE PENDANT, CROM MUSHROOM, GOBLET, BELROG POWERRING, NERGAL
For instance, to get the POWERRING you might only need to have learned BELROG. Or you might need the SHIELD, SWORD, and AKHIROM. The Oracle will tell you (one list at a time) the required objects for each protected item except the SPELLBOOK. You get the combination for the SPELLBOOK by “LOOK POOL” in room 0.
The “AIR IS CRACKLING WITH ENCHANTMENT” if you enter a room with a spell (or multiple spells). If you have the right item in your backpack you will automatically learn the spell. You have to learn the spells in order. You have to have the MUSHROOM and the FOOD to learn VETAR. You have to know VETAR and have the PARCHMENT to learn MITRA. The following table shows what you have to have to learn a spell and the rooms that the spells may appear in (random pick between the first and second room number inclusively).
VETRA: MUSHROOM and FOOD 0 - 39 1st floor (except last 25 rooms ... the maze) MITRA: PARCHMENT and VETRA 64 - 103 2nd floor (except last 25 rooms ... the maze) OKKAN: TALISMAN and MITRA 64 - 103 2nd floor (except last 25 rooms ... the maze) AKHIROM: ROPE and OKKAN 64 - 103 2nd floor (except last 25 rooms ... the maze) NERGAL: SCEPTER and AKHIROM 128 - 167 3rd floor (except last 25 rooms ... the maze) BELROG: VIAL and NERGAL 128 - 167 3rd floor (except last 25 rooms ... the maze) CROM: PENDANT and BELROG 128 - 255 anywhere on 3rd or 4th floor ISHTAR: SPELLBOOK and CROM 128 - 255 anywhere on 3rd or 4th floor
Using a spell costs hit points (physical condition). The more powerful the spell, the more it costs. Here are the details of what they cost and what they do:
VETAR 10 damage GET LAMP immediately after being blown away. MITRA 12 damage Remove scorpion sting. OKKAN 14 damage Get treasure from 'pile of rocks' if it is here. AKHIROM 16 damage If SCARAB is in pack, make us invulnerable for 3 minutes. Kill Hydra. NERGAL 18 damage Allows us to stay in poison room. BELROG 20 damage Make JUMP from this room without failing. CROM 22 damage Unblocks all passages. ISHTAR 24 damage Move to "exit" point where we drop treasure (limited uses).
There are several places in the dungeon where the lamp gets blown out of your hands. You can use VETAR on your next turn to get it back. If you take a step, VETAR won’t work.
ISHTAR moves you to the exit room. At the beginning of the game the number of uses is randomized from 1 to 4. The room with the oil in it (to refill the URN or LAMP) will not appear until you know ISHTAR.
There are six “real” creatures in the game that move around and attack you. The Oracle moves like a creature but gives you advice if you ASK ORACLE. Once the oracle gives advice it moves to a random room in the dungeon and continues walking around. The ORACLE starts in a random room on the 1st two floors. Once a minute the oracle picks a random direction from its current room and moves to the target room. It is not stopped by blocked passages or even missing passages.
There is an interesting bug in the code involving the Oracle. If you KILL ORACLE you will get the message THE URN IS FILLED WITH OIL, which doesn’t make much sense. Then the oracle moves to a random room.
The Hydra is placed in a random room and caries a treasure. When you try to enter the room with the Hydra it will push you back. As soon as it pushes you back you can TIE HYDRA if you have the rope. This binds the Hydra allowing you to enter the room with it. Then you STAB HYDRA to kill it. If you have the SWORD in your pack your physical condition must be at least 200 to kill it. If instead you have the DAGGER, your physical condition must be at least 240. All other stabs miss. The AKHIROM spell (makes you invulnerable) will also kill the Hydra no matter what your condition. When the Hydra dies it drops its treasure and the rope.
At the beginning of the game the packrat is given a random treasure and notes a random treasure to watch for. It is placed in a random room. If you enter the room carrying the trigger treasure then the packrat will drop its own treasure for you. If you don’t have the trigger then the rat runs into hiding. And if the rat happens to be carrying its own trigger? The designers coded for that. If the rat is carrying its own trigger it immediately drops the treasure for you.
The six “real” creatures all move one a minute. Once they are in the room with you they go into a second-by-second attack phase described below. If you are still alive when the minute tick comes along, the creature moves on.
To kill a creature you use the KILL command: KILL MINOTAR for example. The creatures have combinations-of-objects you must possess just like the protected objects in order for the KILL to take them down. If you don’t have the right combination you miss and take 50 damage to your physical condition.
Like the protected objects the creatures have “possible” lists that are chosen at random at the start of the game. The oracle will tell you what the combinations are.
The SPRITE starts in a random room on the 1st two floors (not the maze). Once a minute the SPRITE moves in a random direction. It may only move in a valid, unblocked direction. It may not move to the 4th floor except for the treasure room.
When the SPRITE enters a room it moves all objects on the floor to a random room anywhere in the dungeon. To protected dropped objects there are some rooms the SPRITE may not go. The SPRITE may not move to the room with the music on the 1st floor (enter-action “_z”).
The SPRITE may not move to the room with the VIAL in it (whether the vial is protected or free). Thus you can drop the vial anywhere you want to protect them from the SPRITE.
The SPRITE does not attack.
In order to KILL SPRITE, you must have one of the following combinations of objects (the list is chosen at random at the start of the game):
SKULL, POWERRING FOOD, NERGAL DAGGER, AKHIROM
The TROGLODYTE starts in a random room on the 3rd floor (not the maze). Once a minute the TROGLODYTE moves in a random direction. It may only move in a valid, unblocked direction. It may not move to the 4th floor.
If the TROGLODYTE is in the room with you it attacks on a twelve second cycle. The 1st second it has a random chance of hitting with 60 damage to your physical condition. The chance depends on your room number. In low room numbers (like on the 1st floor) the chance of hitting is low. Try to take it on there!
AX, SCEPTER, MITRA SPELLBOOK, CROM DAGGER, SHIELD, NERGAL
The SCORPION starts in a random room on the 2nd or 3rd floor (not the maze). Once a minute the SCORPTION moves in a random direction. It does not check for passages or blocks. It may move to any floor.
If the SCORPION is in a room with attacks on a random second. The attack does one of two things. Half the time it does nothing and the SCORPION vanishes for 16 seconds. Other half of the time it increases the sting count. Once stung, you take damage once a minute from the accumulated stings at a rate of 5 times number-of-stings to your physical condition. The only cure for the SCORPION sting is the POTION, and even it doesn’t work 1/8th of the time. If it doesn’t work you have to find the POTION and try again before you die.
In order to KILL SCORPION, you must have one of the following combination of objects (the list is chosen at random at the start of the game):
FLUTE, NERGAL SKULL, CROM TALISMAN, POWERRING
The NYMPH starts in a random room on the 2nd floor (not the maze). Once a minute the NYMPH moves in a random direction. It may only move in a valid, unblocked direction. It may move to any floor.
The NYMPH does not attack.
In order to KILL NYMPH, you must have one of the following combination of objects (the list is chosen at random at the start of the game):
MUSHROOM, TRUTHRING FOOD, PENDANT FLUTE, OKKAN
The SATYR starts in a random room on the 3rd floor (not the maze). Once a minute the SATYR moves in a random direction. It may only move in a valid, unblocked direction. It may not move to the 1st floor.
If the SATYR is in the room with you it attacks on a 15 second cycle. On the 1st second it attacks with 30 damage to your physical condition.
In order to KILL SATYR, you must have one of the following combination of objects (the list is chosen at random at the start of the game):
SWORD, NERGAL MACE, LIGHTRING, MITRA SPELLBOOK, VETAR
The MINOTAUR starts in a random room on the 3rd floor (not the maze). Once a minute the MINOTAUR moves in a random direction. It may only move in a valid, unblocked direction. It may not move to the 1st floor.
If the MINOTAUR is in the room with you it attacks on a ten second cycle. The 1st second it prints “THE MINOTAUR IS HERE”. On the 10th second it hits with 0 to 70 points of damage to your physical condition.
In order to KILL SMINOTAUR you must have one of the following combinations of objects (the list is chosen at random at the start of the game):
SWORD, SHIELD, POWERRING MACE, VIAL, SCEPTER, MITRA AX, NERGAL
EAT FOOD adds 30. Food moves to random room.
EAT MUSHROOM adds 60. (1 in 32 chance of killing you.) Mushroom moves to random room.
DRINK POTION adds 200. Potion moves to random room.
DRINK WATER adds 32 (must wait 16 minutes before drinking again).
Entering room with aura adds 40 (must wait 10 minutes before it will heal again). You are moved to a nearby room.
There are 16 treasure objects you must get to the ground in room 202: OPAL, SAPPHIRE, SCROLL, SCARAB, JEWLBOX, TABLET, GOLD, SILVER, DIAMOND, RUBY, FLEECE, TIARA, POWDER, AMULET, POTION, and CROWN. These treasures are distributed randomly.
Five of the six creatures carry treasures. You will have to KILL them. The MINOTAUR always carries a treasure.
The packrat carries a treasure. You must be carrying the treasure it wants to see. Then it will drop its own treasure.
The HYDRA holds a treasure. When it pushes you back you must immediately “TIE HYDRA” with the rope in your pack. Then you can enter the room with it and STAB HYDRA with the sword or dagger in your pack. Or you can kill it with the AKHIROM spell (you must have the SCARAB in your pack).
There is a crypt in room 67. If you OPEN CRYPT the treasure will fall out. Your physical condition minus your pack-weight must be 250 or better. You’ll probably have to drop everything before you can open the crypt.
There is a crypt in room 102. If you OPEN CRYPT the treasure will fall out. If you have the POWERRING you will automatically open it. Otherwise your physical condition minus your pack-bulk must be 250 or better.
There is a room with a pit in the corner. If you LOOK PIT you will get the treasure. You may have to look several times as there is a 50/50 chance of seeing it each time.
There is a room with music playing. If you have the PARCHMENT in your pack and PLAY FLUTE then a ledge will appear. If you have the rope in your pack you can CLIMB LEDGE to get the treasure.
You will run across a room with a “pile of rocks”. You will only see the rocks once you have learned the VETAR spell. Then the OKKAN spell will get the treasure from the rocks.
Room 33 has a free treasure. Walk in with the lamp on and get it.
The room with action “_u” has a free treasure. Walk in with the lamp on and get it.
There is a room with strange color walls (randomly placed “_s”). If you LAMP OFF in this room you’ll get the treasure.
The room with action “_r” has a treasure, but you have to enter the room three times for it to be released. There is no way to know when you have entered this room. You just have to drift around until you enter it 3 times.
The map and info at the end of this write-up was created by my save-game viewer. Download the code JAR from the “Tools” page on my site to your machine and play the game online using the signed-version of the online Mocha emulator. The signed version will allow you to save your game to your local machine.
In the emulator’s “SETUP” click on “MOUNT LOCAL”. When you save your game you will be prompted for a local CAS file. Remember to click on MOUNT LOCAL every time you want a new save file. Otherwise your save will be appended to the end of the first file.
To run the save-game viewer, enter the following command:
java -classpath TOOLS.JAR ca.madness.SaveGameViewer NAME.CAS
Where “NAME.CAS” is the name of your saved game.
Make sure you have the commented disassembly in the same directory. The viewer uses data and comments from the file for non-saved information.
Thanks to Joe Hagan for pointing out some mistakes in the original disassembly (now corrected here and in the code). The original comments at 09C5 said the Sprite can’t move to the treasure room, but it can. The original comments at 1125 said that OPEN SCROLL would bring the LAMP to us on the 4th floor. Actually it brings the Troglodyte to us on floors 3 and 4. And the original comments misinterpreted the VETAR flag. They said the flag temporarily disables VETAR. Actually it temporarily enables it.
Thanks again, Joe.
This is the description of my game experience played using the saved-game info below. You can duplicate my steps with my FIRST.CAS file.
