"Alamaze is possibly the finest play by mail game in existence. It is certainly the most innovative design since the first PBM game emerged... It should be tried by anyone who considers himself a real gamer."

"Alamaze has all the strategy, intrigue, fear and paranoia that makes a great game. It's a great value."

"Alamaze is one of the finest PBM games on the market, today. It is fast paced and exciting. It is full of all the action, intrigue and role-playing any player could ask for."

"Among the many innovations in Alamaze is the truly fantastic magic system, unequaled anywhere in PBM. Not only does the magic system fit in with the entire game system hand-in-hand, it also shows the depth and massive amounts of designing and programming time spent lavishly in this game."

"The game is more advanced than the old days but simpler too with the online input. You get the hang of it pretty quick but it still throws me a curve every now and then."

"I would love to see some younger guys join this community as Alamaze is chess on steroids with D&D thrown in."

"Really excited about getting back into the game. I played back in the late 80s early 90s. I have some great memories of the game. Sending index cards to get everyone contact information seems crazy now."

"I played a long time ago but never finished a game. I really like the new short turnaround of 24 hours or less. I also like the order entry since it finds most of my mistakes and let's me experiment with different orders. Another thing I like is the random positions and pc locations. It makes every game something new. I have looked at other pbm games and none of the ones I found have all those elements. I look forward to playing many games."

"My name is Rick Reed, and I first played Alamaze through RSI in the mid 80s. I've played off and on again through the 90s and after the turn of the century.
I've always enjoyed the game, and have stayed in contact with several of the people from years ago."

"In the D&D world, I was always fascinated by Darkelf and would have liked to have played them as a character, but in those days, that was forbidden. So, Alamaze gave me the opportunity to do it, although in a different format. I must have played the DA 4-5 times in a row, before I played anything else."

"Longtime Fall of Rome (and Hyborian War) player, more or less new to Alamaze. The Fallof Rome experience helps, but Alamaze is clearly way more complex."

"I've been playing strategy games since I was a kid, over 50 years ago. First board games, later early p.b.m. and more recently electronically. I've already made some friends in the Alamaze circle and look forward to a lot of fun with this in the future."
