The Game
"Perhaps the most beautiful looking game yet for the Spectrum. Escape pits you against a 3D maze seen from slightly above so the horizontal pathways are obscured by the hedges. Somewhere in there is the key to the exit. As you enter a monster shoots in and homes in on you inexorably. Get the key and he speeds up. Get out and you’re back with a maze and two monsters. Five levels and a ‘no win’ situation" [cite journal |year=1984 | month=February |title=Review... |journal=Crash |issue=1 |pages=50]
