Escape , released in 1970, is set in the months leading up to France's liberation from World War II. As Pierre LeFeu, a Resistance member, you must prevent Germany from taking Paris' collection of classic paintings by train to Normandy and Allied control.
Escape is a strategy-based game where you control the train once it's in enemy hands. You'll need to set the throttle level, manage coal and water supplies, and ensure steam is released when necessary. The map and communications network will help with planning your mission, while raiding railway stations for track switches adds an extra layer of challenge.
As you navigate through the game, you'll face various targets, including enemy soldiers, to take control of bridges and other key locations. The aim is to outmaneuver the enemy by targeting specific points and avoiding their fire. With careful planning and timing, you can successfully execute your mission and ensure the safe passage of the paintings.
