Escape and Evasion I: Stalag 23
Walkthrough by Alex Dijkstra for the c64.
***Some notes and hints***
-There are two ways of escaping from the camp and therefore two ways of solving the game. Escaping
by the fence is the easiest one because you need to solve fewer puzzles.
-A day consists of ninety turns. 45 turns daylight and 45 turns darkness. When you sleep (which you
can only do inside a hut) 45 turns pass which means that when it was day it turns night and when it
was night it turns day.
-When it gets dark you've 5 turns to enter a hut before being caught by a guard. When you have
the wire cutter you can walk in the dark longer.
-Regardless of the escape route you choose, you are always caught after your first try to escape.
You are put in jail "the cooler" and your possessions are taken to the German Barracks.
-Don't enter locations 22 or 52 when you have objects needed for your escape in your
possession, because you are caught by a guard.
-On both routes you need to collect the food, false papers, map, compass and money before you are
able to escape.
-You can carry 8 objects.
-When you are inside a 'dangerous' location you have only 7 turns to escape before you are
caught by a guard. Dangerous locations are:
Location 10, 13, 31, 57 and 58.
-When your are caught in location 57, the escape route through the tunnel will be blocked by guards
and your only way to escape will be by going through the fence.
