Yeah, sure.  Way back when we had one of our first computers I had a
game that was like this.  I mean, it had the 3d hallways and stuff.  But
instead of being like doom or anything, it was more like 3d packman. 
Looking back, it sure was simple _and_ fun.  Maybe you might want to do
something like that?
