Escape from Hell

Escape from Hell is a video game in the role-playing (rpg) genre developed by Electronic Arts, Inc. and published by Electronic Arts, Inc. originally released in 1990. It is currently playable on DOS.

A 'light' RPG with a good dose of humor, Escape from Hell is based on an interesting premise: you are a typical guy who one day is mysteriously 'sent' to hell. And now you must find a way to get out alive. Talk to a bunch of hellish creatures, see inventive tortures and why, apart from the apology note in the phone booth in hell, your guardian angel never shows up.

Gameplay is the usual top-down RPG fare, with simplified stats and a fair amount of adventure-style puzzle solving. The designer didn't miss the opportunity to poke fun at biblical and pop culture references: everything from the choice of weapons, non-player characters and descriptions of the game's locations are tongue-in-cheek, and some of them are downright hilarious.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try a good RPG parody, but don't be fooled by the simplified stats: the game will take a while to play.
