About this game

Icon Jon places you inside an Amstrad CPC as a program facing imminent deletion when the computer shuts down. With a 30-minute time limit, Icon Jon must find a way to escape.

The game unfolds across non-scrolling, side-view screens. Progress involves solving puzzles, collecting and using items, and working with terminals. Every action is selected through one of ten icons, with a follow-up window used to specify the action.

Icon Jon can also talk with two other programs, Andy Capacitor and Charlie Chiplin. The game was developed by Robosoft and published by Mirrorsoft Ltd.
