Old PC Prison Escape game [La Fuga]
Old PC Prison Escape game [La Fuga]
Okay, so I remember playing it as a child. It was released in the 90s. It has an isometric view. You are a prisoner, and you have to escape. There is a gym, a diner, there's a guy hitting his face on the wall. I didn't make too musch progress, but I remember stealing a spoon from the diner, and I could steal a metal rod from the gym. At night you have to return to your cell. Oh, and Fools Garden's Lemon Tree plays in the background. I would really like to play that game once more. I'd appreciate any help.
"Isometric" and "prison escape" bring Relentless to mind, but that's probably not it.
Parts of the description of your game sound a lot more like a point-and-click adventure though, like TeenAgent or something.
[Edit] Oh, and check out Framed just in case.

@MrFlibble: The isometric view is like in Relentless, but it's not that. It was a kind of an adventure game, you could pick up stuff as I said, I found a spoon and a metal rod, but I couldn't really use them (I was like 4-5 at the time, and my English wasn't pretty good).
I clearly remember, that you could walk around with the cursor keys, you could talk to people, you had some kind of timer (at noon, all inmates had to go to the diner or the guards beat you, also at night you had to return to your cell), and there were a lot of NPCs - guards, other inmates. Some had personalities, I guess they could help you escape later on. Like the guy bashing his head on tha wall (I think he said he lost something, or something about a girlfriend.) Also there was a metal detector at the gym's door, so you couldn't bring the spoon in.

Never mind, found it. It's English name is Argon, but it's also seems to be titled The Fugitive in some countries. It was published in Europe by Phoenix Entertainment in 2003. I have found an Eglish version.
Just posting this here so if anyone is searching for it google will post this in the search results, and they won't have to spend hours looking for it like I did.
Cheers!

I haven't had any luck finding a review, reference, download, or buy link to any version of this game, be it called La Fuga, Argon, The Fugitive or anything else. About all I can find is the original developer / publisher's page for La Fuga, no problem, of course, and one or two references to the original Spanish version by people looking for it. One site reports it came on a computer magazine demo disk in the '96-98 range.
Anyone had any luck? Any suggestions? Am I using the wrong google? Mostly just curious; the Exelweiss site screenshots look cool.

Hello again guys!
It's good to see that a few people are insterested in this game
I do have an English version, it runs on XP using Win 95 compatibility mode.
I could upload it to google drive and share it with you, if you like, and if that's allowed by the moderators. I am sure it's abandonware anyway.

Oh my God! I read about this game back in 99 in the UK PC Gamer magazine and it was my dream game! I remember it was not a major review or anything but on the side of the magazine there was like a mini review with a game called "The fugitive". Unfortunately the game was not available in my country (it was common for bookstores to bring English magazines) and I even remember emailing the developers to see if I could get a copy of the game but for my bad luck this never happened. From time to time I always search for it and now it is the first time that I see someone else looking for it also! Dahaka I would be more than grateful if you could somehow either send me the game (if it is abandonware) or if there is a store to buy it to send me a link!

Googling for "la fuga pc game download english" yields some results *mainly towards this topic * but also towards torrent sites who claim to have the English version, English one as that was your question in your now deleted new topic.
One of the rules here on DGF is that for torrent stuffs you're on your own. We don't provide links towards illegal sites.
Means: you're on your own for this, needless to insist further.
Happy hunting, good luck and keep your AV-malware-spyware softs up to date.
Must also say that I doubt their claim to have the English version of that game, seems bogus to me......
