Ah, that's how I figured it might look, sans spherical distribution.
So far I've just been using the method where you grow walls from existing ones.
It works fairly well if you allow a wall to keep growing for as long as it can.

That reminds me! A while back I was playing with Cave Demo by Tom Dobrowolski
which uses Ken Silverman's Voxlap voxel engine. Around that time I discovered
Jean-Michel Soler's 3D maze script for Blender, and thought the two combined
would be awesome... I was right :)
Any mesh can be converted into a 1024*256*1024 fully destructible voxel world,
though closed meshes work best. Attached is a screen shot showing an entrance (1
of 2) to the right and a blasted area to the left. The maze is solvable, and any
room within it can be accessed. For this particular model I displaced the
surfaces a bit, baked a procedural texture to the mesh and pasted a bunch of
markers all over it, though you can't see them here. Not the best vantage point,
I'll admit. It's something you would just have to play to appreciate :D

Why does that remind me of TNT experiments in Minecraft? :-)

Thanks a lot, Christoph: because of you I feel terrible today :( I've run across
the name, "Minecraft," many, many times during countless searches, but always
assumed it was some sort of Starcraft sequel or knockoff. Now I know the truth,
but the truth is painful!

There are a bunch of algorithms with different trade-offs.
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Maze_generation_algorithm
I generally go back to Prim's, because it's more flexible. For example, you
can put "no-go" zones, you can put "big open room" zones, and it's pretty
trivial to turn into a maze algorithm with bridges and tunnels.

Very neat. I would love to see this sold as a poster.

I wondered how my name got in there! :-)

At the time I did not know how to make a more real mountains and rivers
version, so I used cylinders and boolean expressions. Now I know. I am a
bit busy with a problem at my work, but soon I will make a more
convincing world, that will still carry your name. ;)

Awesome! I'll buy it from Zazzle or wherever you want to put it up. :-)

I am not good at texturing, but I'll try and publish the source (that is
going to be mainly a huge mesh I am afraid). Perhaps somebody else can
turn it into a nice scene with good textures, some icy poles and some stars.
