"As a desperate criminal locked up in one of Her Majesty's prisons, you are slowly going stir crazy. Escape! That is your only thought. Getting out of your present apartment is your first priority, but then can you escape from the prison confines to freedom or are you destined to continue your PRISON BLUES?" This is one of Simon's earlier games as such, it tends to be a little easier than some of his other games Therefore, it is suitable for beginners. Having said that, it's no pushover Escaping from your cell is, as the intro says, your first problem This is easily achieved once you've EXAMined a few things and discovered that your cell door appears to have e Yale lock! Other puzzles involve beating a fellow inmate unconscious, drugging a guard stealing valuable medical equipment and destroying an electric fence. (Moral question : Are you really sure that you want this dangerous character to escape?) All of which is enough to add several more years to your sentence should you be recaptured. There are several nice touches in the game a reference to the old TV series "Porridge" in which two of the principal characters had half of a game board each, and of course there is a squirrel. All of this makes this a game well worth a look especially as it is available for a number of different machines.
