C64 longplay the Great Escape walktrough 1

since pcsx2 didnt run to well on my computer i decided to do a walktrough of a great c64 classic from 1987. The Great Escape. when i was young i never really understood what i had to do lol.

because its hard to see in the video what i am doing here is it again in text form:
These are the objects that you will find in the game:


- Food - well, what could it be for...? :) Find it inside the buildings.

- German uniform - you will find it in the buildings. Use it to disguise yourself and the guards will let you in almost anywhere. Herr Kommandant will recognise you, though, so beware!

- Keys - to open doors, what else! There are 3 of them, and they are scattered around the camp. One is under the watchtower, the other two inside the buildings.

- Lockpick - use it to open doors. Get it in the buildings.

- Map and false ID - you will need these to continue your escape after you get out of the camp. In the buildings.

- Poison - use it on food, then give it to the dogs... Nuff said. It can be found in one of the barracks.

- Radio - catch the forbidden news on it. :) As above.

- Shovel - part of the tunnel under your barrack is blocked, and you will need the shovel to dig your way through. Inside the buildings.

- Torch - use it in the tunnel to find your way. To be found in the buildings.

- The Red Cross parcels should arrive daily (sometimes they may be late... like nowadays :)), and can be found in the buildings. They will always contain useful (and necessary in the escape) objects. These are:

- a bag - arrives in the first parcel.

- a bar of chocolate - give it to a prisoner if you are in trouble, and he will start to run, thus attracting the attention of the guards and allowing you to flee. Arrives in the third parcel.

- a compass - you will need it outside the camp to escape. Arrives in the fourth parcel.

- a pair of shears - you will use them to cut the fence during your Great Escape. Arrives in the second parcel.


All right... now here is what you should do:
- When you have the compass and the shears, get them in the tunnel. Then find the key under the watchtower in downright corner of the camp. Go to the upright corner and open the door. Inside, you will find the lockpick.

- Use the lockpick to open the big door in the upper central part of the camp. Behind it, you will find the map and the false ID. In the same section there is the shovel and the torch, so get them as well. You will also find a second tunnel there. Hide the necessary objects in the hole on the "playground", where you have your morning exercise.

- During the exercise, quickly get the shears and the compass. Cut the fence, and go outside the camp. Leave the compass, and go back in the camp! Wait till the next day. Again, during the exercise, act quickly. Get the map with the false ID, cut the fence, drop the shears, get the compass... and run for it! If you perform Great, you will Escape. Congratulations and all... they will accidentally shoot you later, anyway. Nah, just kiddin'.

this is my first longplay walktrough play, hope you like it:)

I'm hooked on these C64 videos - I could never finish these games when I used to have them. I would never have worked out what you did on the locked door (leading to the lock being picked)

[GreggZolon]

thx for your nice comment:) when i was young i could never finish this game, i was always caught hehe.

I never did escape. Infact I think I'm still in there.

Hey. Does anyone remember a game with similar birds eye perspective and walking around, but on a ship, maybe with holes and walking skeletons to avoid. The graphics may have been either the ship was orange/yellow or white, don't remember.

I tried to escape on friend's ZX Spectrum in 1988 but failed. I managed on my own Commodore 64 in 1989 :)

It was about 23 years ago, "old school"gaming but I still like to turn on my C64 (from time to time) and play ....

I used to collect all kinds of stuff, but I never knew what to do with half of it... still spent hours playing this though lol

[SuperTinkerhell]

OMFG...That fucking annoying bell brings back sooo many memories....

[Blueseas81]

I played this game a lot as a kid but never understood what I had to do lol

[yxo12]

How do you use the Keys?? I just figured out how to pick them up

[zippL0ck]

Aww i used to love this game, i loved how you had to gather things for your escape kit, well you didnt HAVE to , but if you didnt have a good escape kit , chances are that after your escape it would tell you that you got caught while scavenging for food ( if you didnt take food ) or something like that.

I could escape from the place but i never managed to get a good enough kit to make the escape a successful one.

I really wish someone would make a PS3 version of a game like this .

This was an infuriating game which always captured my imagination but I was so young I could not have played it properly anyway.

I love the logic of some of these old games. 'Oi you, stop! Let's get him. Nooo, he's going into the house. Damn, we lost him. Let's go back to our posts and forget we ever saw him, cause that's how things are around these parts.'.

I finshed this game around 15 years after buying it! The best!
