About the game

Escape! (1978) for Apple II takes its place in the VG90 index as one more thread in the story of the first wave of arcade and home gaming, kept here for readers researching the period.

By 1978 the landscape around releases like this was set — cabinets and the earliest home systems were still teaching players what a video game could be. Reading Escape! against that backdrop is part of what makes browsing an archive by year worthwhile.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the first wave of arcade and home gaming produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and cabinets and the earliest home systems were still teaching players what a video game could be. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
