Blue Print

Blue Print Overview

Blue Print is an arcade maze game that hit arcades in September 1982. Developed by the Stamper brothers at Zilec Electronics and licensed to Bally Midway, this is an original arcade release rather than a port or hack. Though later ports arrived on home systems like the Atari 2600 and Commodore 64, the arcade version remains the definitive experience. You guide a character through a series of maze-like screens, presumably collecting pieces of a blueprint while avoiding enemies. The exact mechanics involve moving through corridors, grabbing items, and dodging threats. It's a classic arcade formula that relies on quick reflexes and spatial navigation, with each screen presenting a new layout to master. Blue Print holds a modest place in arcade history. It's not as famous as Pac-Man, but it's an interesting relic from early 1982. The involvement of the Stamper brothers, who later founded Rare, gives it some pedigree. If you enjoy early 80s maze games or want to see where those developers cut their teeth, it's worth a few credits.

How to play Blue Print online

Start the game by pressing Enter. You control the protagonist with the Arrow Keys, moving through maze corridors. The objective is to collect blueprint pieces scattered across each screen while avoiding enemies that patrol the maze. Use the action buttons if needed - though in the arcade original, interaction was limited to movement and perhaps a jump or attack. The core loop is simple: enter a screen, navigate to the blueprint pieces, avoid getting caught, and move to the next layout. As you progress, enemy patterns become more aggressive or numerous. There's no complex story - just pure arcade action. Focus on learning enemy movement patterns and finding efficient routes. Like many maze games, memorization and quick decisions are key to lasting long.
