About this game

Escape from Rungistan is an interactive fiction adventure written by Bob Blauschild and released by Sirius Software in 1982. The game combines graphical elements with text-based commands, beginning with the player in a jail cell and prompted to enter an action.

Time is a central element: some situations require the player to act before the clock runs out, including challenges such as defusing a bomb. The game also features arcade-like sequences, including skiing downhill while avoiding trees.
