The Great Escape (Ocean)

Download Now
The Great Escape is a video game which shares a title and similar plot to the movie The Great Escape. It was programmed by Denton Designs, who went on to produce the similarly acclaimed Where Time Stood Still. It was published by Ocean in 1986 for ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC.

This game is an isometric-viewed arcade adventure, and even now is still considered a classic, due to innovations such as your morale diminishing (represented by a decending flag on a pole) the more time you spent in solitary after each failed escape attempt, a 'default' mode whereby your character goes into autopilot and follows the routine of the camp when either left alone for a period of time, or the morale level became irreversably low, and like the game M.O.V.I.E, a genuinely interactive isometric environment.

It's me that's meant to be remaking it. Don't check too hard or my machine will blow up :( everytime I make any progress I have a disaster of some sort. It will happen, just not tomorrow :(

This is a superb game!
I've played it a lot on the ZXSpectrum (ut was never able to escape LOL)
I think I saw something about a remake some time ago. Gotta go check to see if I can find it.

Best regards.
