Puzzle Panic

Puzzle Panic, also known as Ken Uston's Puzzle Panic, is a computer game created by blackjack strategist Ken Uston, Bob Polin (designer of Blue Max), and Ron Karr. It was published by Epyx in 1984 for the Atari 8-bit family and Commodore 64.[1]

A pre-release version of the game was called PuzzleMania.[2]

Gameplay

The player guides Benny, a light bulb, through a series of 11 puzzles, each with varying difficulty settings (a total of over 40 levels). At the completion of each level, there are a few available exits, each bearing an obscure symbol, which take Benny forward or back in the game (or possibly to repeat the level). The final level, the "Metasequence," is a cryptic puzzle with a non-explicit objective. Its original purpose was part of a contest: those who solved it correctly by the 1984 August 31 deadline could enter in a drawing to win a weekend at an Atlantic City casino with co-creator Ken Uston.
