About No Escape!

Jason has taken the Golden Fleece from the gods! They are naturally upset and have imprisoned Jason in the Temple of Aphrodite with deadly Furies running overhead. You control Jason and your goal is to eliminate all of the Furies to move on to the next level. The Furies can be destroyed if they are hit with a magical brick from the roof of the temple. You are armed with an unlimited supply of stones, throwing a stone at the roof will cause a brick to fall (be careful, you'll lose a life if you hit yourself with a falling brick instead of the Furies). When a Fury is hit by a brick it is destroyed, but if you accidentally hit a Fury with a stone then it will multiply! The Furies will also be firing at you, and if you'll lose a life if hit. The game ends when you have no more lives left in reserve. Several difficulty levels are available.

Atari 2600 prices, all games & how to spot a fake

An Imagic original with a Greek-myth theme, inexpensive and worth a look.

Michael Greene designed No Escape! for Imagic, released in April 1983. You play Jason, leader of the Argonauts, fighting off the Furies sent by the Greek gods. A two-player mode has players take turns competing for score. Little else is documented about its development or reception.

What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 2 No. 1	April 1983	Graphics ★★★½ · Play-Action ★★★½
Electronic Fun with Computers & Games Vol. 1 No. 9	July 1983	3 joysticks
Arcade Express Vol. 1 No. 20	May 8, 1983	8/10

“The graphic detail in this game is very good, as we've come to expect from Imagic, and the game is an unusual test of eye-hand coordination that requires good strategic thinking, especially in the more advanced waves.”
— Computer Entertainer, April 1983

“And though No Escape falls into the overworked genre of shoot-em-ups, it delivers a new, exciting kind of perceptual problem on screen that is very different from anything in its class.”
— Electronic Fun with Computers & Games, July 1983

“"No Escape" features the type of simple attractive graphics found in Imagic's "Dr agonf ire" , as well as challenging play action, progressive difficulty levels, and even a happy ending. A solid action game.”
— Arcade Express, May 8, 1983

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system. Electronic Fun rated games out of four joysticks.

Worth knowing

Sold as "rare" in 1986. By spring 1986 the 2600 market had moved on far enough that Computer Entertainer's mail-order list sold brand-new copies under the heading "RARE GAMES — THESE ARE YOUR SPECIAL PRICES", at $9.00 (good through 10 May 1986).

Before you buy

Low risk. No reproductions are documented. Loose carts are inexpensive; a complete copy costs noticeably more, so check that the box and manual are present if you are paying for one.
