***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,
Amstrad CPC and DOS.
***Gameplay***
The gaming environment is displayed in isometric 2.5D with the player's
character initially in bed at the beginning of a day in the camp. The
prisoner has a daily routine, along with all the other prisoners, which
includes roll call, exercising, mealtimes and bedtime. The other
prisoners will follow this routine and, if the player does not control
the main character for a short period of time, their character will
join in the routine. There are soldiers guarding the camp and they
will attack the player if he is seen out of routine (prison guards
only detect prisoners in their line of sight).
