What is a .MAZ file?
The file extension .MAZ is associated with a Hover! Maze File. This type of file is specifically used by the game Hover!, which is an older game designed for DOS systems. In Hover!, players control a hovercraft in both racing and battle modes. The .MAZ file contains important information for the game's levels, which are referred to as mazes. Inside a .MAZ file, you can find data such as where players and items appear within the game (spawn points and item locations), as well as details about the landscape and environment of the game level (terrain features). This file essentially holds all the necessary details that define a particular game level in Hover!.
These .MAZ files are typically stored in a specific folder within the game's installation directory, named \MAZES\.
To open a .MAZ file, you would need to use the Hover! game itself, as it is the program designed to read and process these files for gameplay. There are no commonly available standalone programs outside of Hover! that can open .MAZ files, as they are tailored specifically for use within the game.
