Blue Print

About

In Blue Print you navigate a character through maze-like houses hunting scattered machine parts while avoiding monsters and bombs. The goal is to collect all pieces and assemble a weapon to fend off a relentless monster chasing your girlfriend. Gameplay mixes exploration with timed challenges as enemies close in. The 1982 release blends puzzle-solving with arcade-style urgency, all rendered in simple but effective blocky graphics. The game stands out for its tight tension between resource management and evasion. Though short-lived, its mix of object collection and survival elements feels surprisingly modern for the era. Bally Midway's mid-80s catalog includes other puzzle classics like BurgerTime and Pac-Man Plus, but Blue Print's frantic pacing and clear objective set it apart. Its 5200 port adds a layer of nostalgic charm for older gamers.
