Escape from Markana

Escape from Markana is a video game in the action genre developed by Gerald Rosen Inc. and published by Gerald Rosen Inc. originally released in 1994. It is currently playable on DOS.

Escape from Markana is a single player game of the 'escape from the maze' type. The player takes the role of a hero who has been taken prisoner by the Markana nation. After a long and intense interrogation, the Markana leave you alone in their maze. They are so confident that their maze, loaded with obstacles, traps and puzzles, is impenetrable that they leave no guards around, so all the player has to do is escape. Further proof of their pride in the security of their maze is the fact that they also use it to store treasure and the occasional gun. Points are scored for each item collected.

The game is divided into sections. Markana1 includes levels 1, 2 and 3 while Markana2 includes levels 4, 5 and 6 and so on. When the game is loaded, it tries to adjust to the speed of the host computer. This test lasts between one and ten minutes but, according to the game documentation, it can take up to twenty minutes.

There is an on-screen manual describing the game in detail, which is accessed through a separate program. The game has a save slot. The shareware version has six levels. The full registered version has 12 levels and over 1000 screens.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
