What Prisoner 2 is

Prisoner 2 is an adventure game developed by Edu-Ware Services, Inc. and released in 1982. It is available on Apple II, Atari 8-bit and DOS.

The premise, in the publisher's words

As an incoming resident of The Island you are expected to behave. You have something we want... information. And you will remain our guest until we obtain it. Of course, at that moment you will have lost. Do not delude yourself. Escape is hardly possible. The Island keeps you under constant surveillance. We expect you'll never even find the bars. As Caretaker for the Master I have taken every precaution to ensure that your stay is... interesting. The Island has been newly landscaped and the Village sports a coat of high resolution paint (in thirty-two tantalizing flavours). Each of our twenty buildings promises a captivating experience.
