Escape

Escape is maze video game for the ZX Spectrum developed by New Generation Software and published in 1982. The cassette inlay reads: "Can you ESCAPE from the monsters? You must search through the maze to find the axe which will enable you to break down the door and ESCAPE. But it is not that easy—the Triceratops hides behind the hedges and the Pteranodon soars over the maze to swoop down upon you" Gameplay The player has to search a maze displayed in primitive 3D for an axe, which will allow him to break the exit, and escape. He is chased by initially a single dinosaur - each successful escape increases the number of dinosaurs roaming the maze, until level 5, which introduces a pterosaur that will occasionally take off and fly over the hedges, not being restricted to the maze paths. Upon finding the axe, which is randomly placed for each level, the player slows down allowing the dinosaurs to catch up.
