Atari Emulator -> Analog Computing's Midas Maze

Kewl!  My 2020 list of New Year's resolutions is already complete!  Alas, Atarimania's categorization lumps anything from Analog Computing into one category.  Not that I don't love Antic's stuff, mind you, and typing it in from a magazine, but Midas Maze seemed a little more like a complete game... okay, sure, it's no Boulder Dash, but what it lacks in bells and whistles it makes up for in pure adrenaline arcade action.  Maybe a little too fast, actually, but what the heck.  Heck!!  Boy, I really am an old man now.  Anyway, Midas Maze is somewhere between Rally-X and Super Pac-Man.  You've got the key system of Super Pac-Man, but instead of a giant yellow dot plagued by ghosts, it's a race car plagued by other race cars.  Sure, it's hard flipping an eight-digit score, but a journey of 100 million steps has to start at one!  Had a hell of a time trying to remember where this was.  See, I downloaded most of Mushca's stuff a long time ago, and I could've SWORN it was somewhere in the hundreds, so I started at 100........
