The Great Escape, a 1986 action-adventure by Denton Designs for the ZX Spectrum, draws from the film of the same name. Players control a POW in a 1942 German camp, following a routine of roll call and meals unless directed to escape via multiple methods. The isometric 2.5D game earned a 9/10 from Your Sinclair, a Megagame award, and ranked 23rd in their Top 100. Crash readers voted it best arcade adventure in 1986. Its tense atmosphere and innovative routine system made it a standout title.
