I am looking for a maze game I played some years ago.
It is played on a rectangular grid of paths and fences. Peter, represented by a red or white dot, is controlled by the player and has to escape the current screen through the exit square, one step at a time. The wolf is represented by a black dot and controlled by the computer. It can move two steps in one round, but it always moves directly towards Peter and can not evade fences.
The closest I found to a commercial version is the [Rescue Thomas](http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot/guides/pc/bw_gg/bw-49.html) quest from Black&White.
I am sure I have played a free game like that, but I don’t remember if it was Flash or a downloadable EXE.
Does anybody know where to find it?

There’s similar stuff out there. One that springs to mind is [Mummy Maze](http://www.popcap.com/gamepopup.php?theGame=mummymaze), which is just about exactly what you describe, but with better graphics. It was apparently based on the earlier [“Theseus and the Minotaur”](http://www.kristanix.com/theseusandtheminotaur/).

Yeah, that was it. Thanks a lot! Looks like it is no longer free though.
