Escape is available for
Windows, Mac OS X, and x86 Linux. Detailed
instructions for each platform are below.
Note: If you have already downloaded an older version of
Escape, try using the in-game upgrade feature rather than downloading
a fresh copy from this page. This will only download the necessary
files and will preserve any progress your players have made.

can run Escape using the block icon on your desktop or in your Start

You can place the Escape directory anywhere, and
moving it will not affect your progress. To uninstall, simply delete
the directory.

x86 Linux |
|
|
Current version: 200704130
These are statically-linked binaries for x86 linux.
They are supposed to be portable to any x86 linux box (and perhaps
other Unix-like operating systems with linux compatibility layers)
without the need for libraries. To install, simply
unzip and untar the archive to a directory of your choice. Then run
escape.exe while in an X session.
Many linux users prefer to install software from source
code. To do so, use the source archive below.

Source Code |
|
|
Current version: 200704130
This is C++ source code for Escape, as well as all
the graphics and game data. Also included is the source code to the
Escape server and NES versions. the source tarball is probably pretty
old; for more up-to-the-minute sources, you can access the
SVN
repository at Sourceforge.
Instructions for building are included in the file
HACKING within the archive.
Escape uses SDL and other (L)GPL libraries. For GPL
compliance the source code to those libraries can be downloaded here, however, it's probably a better idea
to download them from their homes on the web.
(SDL,
SDL_net,
SDL_image,
SDL_mixer)

Amiga OS4 |
|
|
April 2005
Edgar Schwan has ported Escape to the new Amiga OS
called "OS4." It seems to support all the features that the Windows,
Mac, and Linux builds did in April 2005, although I have not tried it.
He also includes some sound effects!
