This works fine for me and I love playing with it. Exploring the mazes in 3-D is awesome.

One more thing. There is a link to download the Microsoft.VC80.CRT runtime at the program's web site, so if Daedalus doesn't work for you, then go here to get them: http://www.astrolog.org/labyrnth/daedalus.htm

I downloaded Daedalus yesterday and I'm still having fun with it!

The link is to an ad-site now.

I found the application available at http://download.cnet.com/Hex-a-hop/3000-18536_4-10477949.html

I also found a new version available at Sourceforge but I have not tried it.

http://hexahop.sourceforge.net/

http://hexahop.sourceforge.net/downloads.html


I have updated the links in this entry to point to Cnet and I will mention the new version in the forums.

LPChip on 2010-08-09 17:48

The link at sourceforge is confirmed to be the same game. Its also portable and works ike a charm!

If you like fiddling and often have nothing to do while sitting at the pc then this is for you.

With a range of between 6v and 25 point puzzles it will keep you going for ages and it's just plain fun.

An added bonus you can probably fit most of the games on the authors site onto a floppy disk if you're really pressed for timewasting space

Very enjoyable.

Zetrix, Oh No! on 2007-12-29 14:29

Caution! It crashed my comodo firewall program and installation file. It's very suspicious...

thooper on 2009-10-01 09:20

scanned this with norton and malwarebytes, both of which said it was clean, but upon running it, windows firewall blocked it from accepting incoming network connections. Backdoor for hackers? Very suspicious!
