Mid 1980s DOS puzzle/action game?

Post by Alexfrog »

I'm trying to figure out the name of an action/puzzle game I played as a kid, I think its mid or late 80s.

In the game you have a small figure on the screen who moves through a grid of various rooms, which I believe were numbered, and each of which had some monsters running around (I think the monsters were robots?). The game was pretty mazelike, and contained certain colored keys. You were trying to make your way through the maxe, find the keys, etc. I believe you had 3 lives. It was not randomly generated, the layout was always the same. Its not a roguelike game, there were actual graphics. Your guy and the robot? monstres were about 1 square centimeter big.

Its probably pretty obscure. My memory was that it was called something like Strider or Stryker or something, but searching for those has only found different and unrelated games.

ANyone have any idea what I'm talking about? Thanks!
