Product Information

Do you remember Colditz on telly? Surely no one can forget the episode where the man pretended to be mad (largely through the cunning ploy of dribbling his porridge) to get himself released from Colditz. Hurrah! One in the eye for old Fritz. Then of course it turned out he really had gone mad. Oh how we wept and how we made sure that we only ate our porridge in easy to manage portions. For a few years events in Oflag IVC dominated television like Ramsey Street does today. This new version, which allows you to play the game on Windows, Linux, macOS and PSP platforms, has been reverse engineered from the original Amiga game engine and is released under a GPL v3 license.

Based on the board game Escape From Colditz by Gibson Games, this title will ask you to help 4 prisoners escape the infamous Nazi camp of Colditz, which really existed during World War 2. The four prisoners, a British, a Frenchman, an American, and a Pole (no, it's not a joke), will have to explore the camp, collect objects, solve puzzles, and collaborate to find a way to escape. Of course, this will require the excavation of a tunnel, like in every escape movie (or Prison Break).In this game, you control a set of four prisoners of war trying to escape from the infamous Colditz Castle WWII prison.

Extract the 7z content into the relevant directory ( PSP/GAME/ on PSP, any location on other platforms). It should create a Colditz Escape/ directory there My list of games as far as I can remeber is:- Ufo Sphere Ufo2 Limbo Limbo2 Most of my magazine articles were on 6502 programming, and I had loads of stuff published in the 80’s and 90’s. I also programmed a load of routines for people to use in their games such as sprite movers and scrollers. Escape From Colditz is an action/strategy game with isometric graphics created by Digital Magic Software for the Amiga in 1990. A port for Commodore 64 was never completed.Paul: I've never really got to grips with this escaping malarkey. To be honest if I were captured in a war my first thoughts wouldn't be "It's every Officer's duty to escape" but "Coo I'm well out of that, think I'll put my feet up for the duration." Ah well, that's what comes of being descended from Lord Henri de Lakin, The Cowardly Count, a man who changed sides almost as often as he changed underwear. However, in computer games the sprites do all the dying for you so I launched myself into Colditz with relish. If it needs pigeonholing Colditz is an arcade adventure, in as much as you need to collect items to overcome obstacles. But it's not a linear game since you don't progress by stages; escapes have to be built up and carefully planned. When arrested you lose all your equipment so the careful escaper builds up equipment, uses the four prisoners in conjunction and proceeds with caution. What did happen, was that a preview actually got sneaked out, which included a full introduction and pretty much most of what the game ever was. It was sneaked out after Mistri/SCS got a copy of Miles’“show reel” disk and put it out there, much to Miles’ disgust. If it wasn’t for that, then we may not be able to play the preview today. It relied on perfect multi-dimensional scrolling with layers that could be turned on and off. I was quite sad that we didn’t finish this game ultimately as it was looking cool and although Miles worked on it, he couldn’t seem to take it to completion. Demo writers have a very different (and cool) skillset – sometimes making my jaw drop. I often encouraged these programmers to write games – but they were into something different. Miles however was a great laugh. He brought a new fresh dynamic to the company – but also sadly had joined us during that last challenging year before we closed shop”¦and so the C64 version died. You’d mentioned the C64 version of the Amiga Escape from Colditz – another quite successful game for DMS. The article I read which you sent wasn’t entirely true – about who worked on what. We did really want to build the C64 version. We’d done some tests and realized we could recreate the disappearing walls – and really the game overall.
