Alcatraz II

To begin with, I couldn't stand this game, but it sort of grows on you. The idea is to escape from the jungle outside the prison you have just released yourself from.

You must then get the information about the impending destruction of the world to friendly agents.

However, before this he must find them, and get secret codewords, etc. The game takes the form of a multi-screened type, with Alcatraz Harry as an animated figure that dashes between the various screens.

There are some quite amusing bits, such as a 'haggle' screen where you have to deal with informants for information.

A well put together game and good value at the price.
