ESCAPE FROM COLDITZ

AIM

Your four characters have been imprisoned in Colditz castle and it's up to you to guide them to freedom. Each character is allowed to move freely within his own quarters, and at certain times in the inner courtyard. You will need to explore deep into the German quarters in order to collect the equipment you need to escape.

CONTROLS (Joystick in port 2)

Pressing fire uses your currently selected object. Some objects can only be used in specific locations. To open and close doors, select the correct key, press fire and walk into the doorway. You can only use each key or lock-pick once.

The Pick-axe, shovel and saw open up disused tunnels. Select the correct tool, stand over a weak spot on the floor and press fire.

A stone can be thrown to distract a nearby guard. Select the stone in your inventory window and press fire. The longer you hold fire, the further you will throw the stone.

To use a disguise select the German uniform and press fire. You will come across other objects in your search, all of which are used in the same way.

YOUR MEN

You can set up one or more of your men as stooges or look-outs, by pressing F10. When a German comes near to him, control will automatically switch to him and thereby give you a warning of approaching guards. To come out of stooge mode reselect him by pressing keys F1-F4.
