Prison Riot - C64 Game Cheats


Game Review & Description

Prison Riot on the Commodore 64 is what happens when you mix the concept of a breakout with, well, an actual breakout. It's as though the developers sat down, watched every prison movie from the '70s and '80s, and thought, "Let's make this into a game, but with more pixelated violence and less moral ambiguity." The result is a game that's about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face, but twice as entertaining.

In this thrilling escapade, players assume the role of an inmate with a singular goal: escape. However, this isn't a leisurely stroll out of the slammer. The game pits you against guards, fellow inmates, and a variety of obstacles that would make even the most seasoned escape artist sweat. It's like playing tag, if everyone involved was incredibly angry and the floor was made of lava.

Graphically, Prison Riot is a nostalgic throwback to the golden era of 8-bit gaming, complete with chunky sprites and environments that are as colorful as they are claustrophobic. The prison setting is convincingly dreary, providing the perfect backdrop for the chaos that unfolds. And while the game's sound might not win any awards for musical score, it effectively complements the on-screen action with a mix of beeps, boops, and the occasional digital scream.

Gameplay in Prison Riot is a frenetic blend of strategy and action. Planning your route, conserving your energy, and picking your battles are all key to surviving the riot and making your way to freedom. The game's levels are designed to challenge both your reflexes and your ability to think on your feet, making each successful escape feel like a genuine accomplishment.

Prison Riot is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Commodore 64 as a platform for innovative and engaging gaming experiences. So, if you're ready to test your mettle against the ultimate high-stakes game of hide-and-seek, grab your joystick and prepare to riot. Just remember, in the world of Prison Riot, only the cunning survive.


Prison Riot Tips and Tricks

For those intrepid players looking to carve their path to freedom through the pixelated chaos of Prison Riot, here are a few genuine tips and strategies to aid in your endeavor:

  1. Know Your Enemies: Not all adversaries are created equal. Learn to recognize the different types of guards and inmates, each with their own patterns and weaknesses.
  2. Conserve Your Strength: Your energy is limited, and every action, from fighting to sprinting, drains it. Pick your moments to engage and use stealth to avoid unnecessary confrontations.
  3. Use the Environment: The prison is filled with objects and terrain that can be used to your advantage. Learn to use these to block pursuers, create diversions, or access hidden areas.
  4. Plan Your Route: Study the level layouts and plan your escape route carefully. Sometimes, the direct path is not the safest or most efficient.
