Loosely based around the Gibson Games board-game, you are in control of a team of 4 POWs ? a Brit, a Frenchman, an American and a Pole) and must guide them all to what many attempted and few achieved ? escape from the notorious Nazi POW camp. You control each of the 4 men separately, each of them starting within their own quarters on different floors of the camp, and can always switch between them.
The gameplay has a similar feel to isometric-view Spectrum games, notably The Great Escape and Head Over Heels. Collecting and using objects is a significant part of your task ? lock-picks for the low-security doors, keys for the more secure ones, German uniforms to allow you to move around freely, and shovels to dig for freedom. You must avoid entering forbidden areas ? do this and you will be placed in solitary confinement and have your equipment confiscated ? if you attempt to run from the guards in such areas they will shoot at you.
