    This is a game called "Maze Race" for the 8-bit Atari computers but its not for the 2600. From what I've found its a game that you type out from a 1981 "Compute" magazine.

    Do you have a picture or scan of this cart? If its from a magazine then its not an official release but someone might have made a homemade cart.

    Well, you are in New Zealand (was there ever an 'old' Zealand?), and maybe your proximity to Asia means you might have a pirate cartridge. There were certainly a few of them coming out of there at the time.

    It looks like the original label came off the cart, so the owner relabeled it from memory, hence the name Maze Race instead of Maze Craze.
