Escape from Hell is a 1990 CRPG developed and published by Electronic Arts about escaping from Hell. And along the way, you find allies who will join your party like rogue demons, Hamlet, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Genghis Khan, and Josef Stalin. It's a bizarre game.Richard goes to see his friend Alan, but instead finds a mysterious note. When his girlfriend Alison asks about it, he tells her what the note said…and she disappears. Richard gets a call from the "Divine Phone Company" saying that he cast a powerful incantation, and Richard accidentally says it again, sending himself to Hell as well.Now he needs to find Alison and Alan and escape from Hell! |

Only Six Faces: Lots of character portraits are reused as a result of the game needing to fit on 5¼â€� floppies. Even Satan himself uses a generic monster portrait. |

No Fourth Wall: Within the first minute of being in Hell, you'll find a copyright notice, a dedication to the real-life Alison (now the creator's wife), and the page quote about being motivated by the fact that you paid big bucks for this game. |
