Old Classic Retro Gaming | Apple ll Game: Escape! (1978 Muse Software) @oldclassicgame | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 days ago.
A 3D maze game where the player is equipped with a pass, which may help when encountering guards (though some of them will just confiscate it instead). Random people are encountered along the way, who can be questioned, though they will not always tell the truth. Sometimes they provide more-or-less helpful items, like passes, maps and compasses - these, too, may be true or fake: some degree of logical astuteness will be needed to divine a way out. You main objective of this game is to run away to escape the building as fast as possible, consisting of randomly-generated mazes starting from the southeast corner of the maze and exit through the northwest corner o the maze. To beat the game, you need the correct map (either true or false map), a compass that points in the opposite direction, and a pass to avoid being captured by the guards.
Note: Wow! this game took me many tries before I can finally beat the game. This one of the earliest games that use a 3D 1st person perspective view and probably the first type of game released on the Apple II computer. Definitely a huge influence on 1st person shooter games in the 1990s.
