Alcatraz Harry (Mastertronic)
Harry is desperately trying to escape from Alcatraz. To do so he must find the whereabouts of, and then steal, the secret files which are hidden somewhere underground. The only access being through one of the ventilation shafts under a grid in the floor. He must choose the right grid however for only the grid leading to the files has the necessary ladder to enable Harry to escape.
Once the files are found, Harry must then proceed to peruse the camp and collect every peice of useful escape equipment that he can find, but beware, guards are dotted all over the camp and if you pass through a section containing a guard more than once, you will be arrested for loitering, and the prison camp officials will mete out the rather drastic punishment of death. If however, you are lucky enough not to experience such a fate you might continue with the game.
Once you have collected all the equipment that you can or are going to, you must return to the compound from which you started. To do this you can either walk through the various sections carefully avoiding these sections that you know contain guards, or you can find a section containing a small, yellow car. This car will drive you to the compound. If you find that you are stuck somewhere, there is an additional aid of tunnels. Upon entering a tunnel you will immediately be taken to another section. Which section this is will not be known until you get there.
When you have successfully returned to the compound, you deposit your equipment. You then get a brief glimpse of a map showing the positions of the mines in the minefield which you must avoid. Then you set off to find the hole in the fence and freedom. If you succeed your score is totted up to give you a hi-score to beat the next time you play.
There are four levels of skill in this entertaining game, giving you a harder challenge once you have mastered the lower level. Not a particularly fast game so it gives you plenty of time to think about what to do next. Only a carefully pre-planned technique can help Harry to escape the confinement of Alcatraz.
