"Monty is Innocent" is a video game released in vgy|1985 for the Sinclair Spectrum. It is a sequel to the 1984 video game "".

Story

Monty Mole has been sentenced to five years in Scudmore Prison for stealing a bucket of coal. Monty's best friend, the mysterious masked rodent, Sam Stoat, is determined to set Monty free. Sam must face the evil forces, lurking in the depths of Scudmore, and rescue Monty.Citation|title=Monty is Innocent Inlay|publisher=Gremlin Graphics]

Name

While the game was marketed as "Monty is Innocent" the loading screen for the game does not show this title. Instead it merely displays "Great Escape!". The inlay also features this title, on the newspaper that Monty Mole is reading in his cell.

Gameplay

While billed as a sequel to the game "", "Monty is Innocent" is very different; in addition to the obvious difference (the player controls Sam Stoat, rather than Monty) the previous Monty Mole game was a platform game whereas "Monty is Innocent" is a linked, multi-screen 3D maze game. The player must collect a key from the Governor's office to opena cell door. There are eight keys (which open eight doors) and the player must return to the office each time until the key to open Monty's cell is found. A number of bottles containing a magic disappearing potion can be found around the prison, which will cause Sam to become invisible for a short time. There is also an armoury which contains an endless supply of guns, although the weapons have only five bullets each.

Points are scored for completing the game; the faster the game is completed, the more points are awarded.Citation|title=Monty is Innocent Review|newspaper=CRASH|date=March 1985] Citation|title=Monty is Innocent Review|newspaper=Your Computer|first=Paul|last=Bond|date=March 1985] Citation|title=Monty is Innocent Review|newspaper=Sinclair Programs|date=April 1985] Citation|title=Monty is Innocent Review|newspaper=Sinclair User|first=Clare|last=Edgeley|date=April 1985]

rev1Score = 78%
rev2 = "Sinclair User"
rev2Score = 7/10,
rev3 = "Sinclair Programs"
rev3Score = 40%,

Reviews were mixed, with "CRASH" giving the game 78%. and "Sinclair User" awarding 7/10, while "Sinclair Programs" gave only 40%

"CRASH" declared that "Monty is Innocent" is great. It's really colourful and although the graphic movement is not ultra-smooth, it's okay." and "Your Computer" said that "Plenty of imagination has been used to create the backdrops - there are a couple of good 3D mazes and an ingenious sequence in a gymnasium.", while "Sinclair Programs" said that, while the idea behind the game was good, it was "badly presented. Doors to other screens are often invisible, and the 3D pictures are confusing." and declaring that "the game is not a patch on ""."
