Escape From Colditz

As a kid I really loved this game but didn’t realise Escape From Colditz was a real place till many years after. I would even go as far as to make maps of the game on sheets of paper because I really wanted to escape the damn prison but it was too hard and I have yet to complete this game at all, though one day I know I can do it! You control four prisoners of different nationalities and the idea is to escape from the prison by any means possible.

There are a lot of different ways in which you can escape and I probably didn’t catch every single one of them in my time but I’m sure you might!
The perspective of the game is 2d in a 3d environment. Well, I say 3d but really you can only move in 8 directions you constantly find yourself running from guards or trying to access some doors or going through restricted areas. However, in this game you can really die! So I suggest you be very careful with how you step or you could end up in the courtyard after hours getting or head blown off by a guard. Because the Amiga couldn’t handle a real death that slow but lovable piece of crap!
In fact, I would really like the chance to read the manual. In all I would give this game 9 out of 10. It was a really hard game which keeps it from getting a near perfect score from me and the coldness of it, all right I know it’s a prison game but it has no heart at all. You don’t even care which of your guys you can save from this god awful place! On the positive side, Escape From Colditz is really awesome and highly replay able.
All in all this is a marvellous game! I really love it! If you don’t play it I highly recommend downloading it! I’m sure you’ll be impressed!!!
