Blue Print, is an arcade maze game released in June 1982. It was developed by Zilec Electronics Limited and licensed to Bally Midway. The player controls J.J., a man whose girlfriend Daisy is being chased by Ollie Ogre. To defeat him, J.J. must find the pieces of a machine based on a blueprint. Home ports of Blue Print were published by CBS Electronics for the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, and Commodore 64.
The player controls J.J., an inventor trying to save his girlfriend from the clutches of Ollie Ogre. In order to do this, he must find all the parts of a machine he has designed, assemble it, and use it to shoot Ollie down. Controls consist of a four-position joystick and a button.
The screen is divided into three sections. At the top is a ledge on which Ollie chases the girl, occasionally knocking down flowerpots in an attempt to hit J.J. The center portion is a maze of 10 houses, and the bottom contains the machine's blueprint, a start button, and a pit. Eight of the houses contain one machine part each, while the other two contain bombs; the contents of a house are only revealed when J.J. enters it. If a part is found, the player must move it into the proper position on the blueprint. However, if a bomb is found, the player must carry it to the pit before it explodes. The player will always find a bomb in any previously visited house. Holding the button down allows faster movement, but it can be used for only a limited time as shown by an on-screen gauge.
Once the machine is fully assembled, J.J. must hit the start button and then climb aboard. The player must now use the joystick to maneuver left and right as it shoots balls upward. If Ollie is hit, he falls down and the level is complete, with bonus points awarded for each flowerpot remaining on the ledge. A new level then begins, with the houses in a different configuration.
In addition to the falling flowerpots, J.J. must avoid the flowers that bounce out of them if they reach the bottom of the screen, as well as Fuzzy Wuzzy, a creature that roams the maze in later levels. A monster named Sneaky Pete occasionally climbs out of the pit and wanders across to the start button, stomping on it to cause the parts of the machine to fall loose. J.J. must drag him back to the pit, then set the fallen parts in place again.
One life is lost if any of the following occurs:
Being hit by a flowerpot
Touching Fuzzy Wuzzy or a bouncing flower
Failing to place a bomb in the pit before it explodes
Ollie catches the girl
