About this version
Bomb sold Great Escape in the UK and Germany as well as in North America. PAL cartridges were made for European televisions, which use a different picture standard from American ones; the game itself is the same.The same game also appeared in Europe as Time Machine from Goliath and as Asteroid Fire from Home Vision. Your ship gets faster the longer you fly in one direction, and you can only turn sideways at the lowest speed, so slow down early and check the long-range scanner whenever the Super Alien’s warning sound plays.
