Escape 2012 -- Author Possibly B.J. Chambless -- Computerware, 1985
Solution by Dale Dobson, www.gamingafter40.com
This is a fairly difficult adventure to work through, due to its huge map and lack of distinguishing
landmarks, as well as a couple of arcade sequences and parser battles. But the actual puzzles are
straightforward, as we attempt to round up the necessary materials to escape an alien prison, blow
up the alien base, and escape in a handy shuttle.
