"You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike" certainly describes the situation you are in.  

You hear faint footsteps, so you follow the sound through the maze.  To your horror, you discover the source of the footsteps is a Skeleton; and it doesn't look friendly.  Acting quickly, you blast it with your Undead Disintegrator and the Skeleton vanishes in a flash of colour.  But as you reload your UD, you hear footsteps again; and you wonder; are you the hunter or the hunted in this nightmare?

~From the instructions that came with the rom

Skeleton+ is a 3D maze game written by Eric Ball. In order to escape this labyrinth you need to hunt down and eliminate 80 skeletons lurking about without being killed yourself! There are eight mazes, with each maze containing 10 skeletons. Complete all eight mazes and you'll gain your freedom!

Skeleton+ contains several improvements over the original release of Skeleton. The major differences are:

 - Life and Kill Counters
 - New Undead Locator to help track Skeletons
 - Five vs Ten Skeletons per level (selectable)
 - Various difficulty settings

The new difficulty settings allow you to customize the game to your liking, and maximize replay value! You can now set to start with five or ten Skeletons per level, start with 49 life and half damage, toggle the Undead Locator on or off during gameplay, and choose to have the Skeleton speed reset only at the start of a level. In addition, you can use the B/W switch to toggle "touch of death" for Skeletons.

If your Atari 2600 has been modified for stereo output, Skeleton+ takes advantage of this to help you locate Skeletons in the maze!

You can get a copy of Skeleton+ in cartridge form in the AtariAge Store. Included with the cartridge is a colorfully illustrated eight page manual.
