Corridors of your mind?

The Virtual 3D Maze is a game with a very simple theme: you just have to find your way in a labyrinth. It can be pretty annoying (you're usually not warned of a danger before you step into it, and then suddently the game is over and you have to recall the way again), but what is especially interesting about this game is a certain aspect of the graphics. In most parts the corridors are boring, painted in three basic colours - and then suddenly you step into a rainbow-coloured room...
Bright colours and fantastic images have always been a part of art and entertainment for children - are they no longer "innocent"? Can it actually be subversive, as I suggested last year in a post titled "Psychedelic family amusement?"? Will children, exposed to such images, later seek them on their own when they read that it's so easy to produce them?
Remember, responsible parents - don't let your kids play video games and under no circumstances keep a copy of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" at home.

A good recent example of subversive use of strobing rainbows and mandalas and the like was in the film Cypher.

*you aRE =NOT= jACK tHURSBY*

That game there, sounds like the bargain bin of the old cassette-loading home computers days. I can picture the review:

Overall Score: 9%

You get one life, and if you die you have to go back to the start. Avoid.
