Comments:

A lengthy game with you in control of an English prisoner in a German prisoner of war camp during the war. Your orders, such as your daily routine, will scroll along the bottom signaled by a bell. It is up to you to follow it or you will face the consequences. When you find the time you should interact with other prisoners to carry out an escape plan. Good fun but, as it's old, you can get a long way into it then have to start from the very beginning due to a simple mistake.
