Re: Prisoner 2

Sounds like it might be the same game. It starts in a maze, then you end up
in the Prisoner 'compound' with various puzzles in different rooms and
fences that don't allow you to leave the 'square' as it were. You may be
right regarding the gameplay, I seem to remember it being baffling as
nothing seemed to work in any set way. It doesn't seem to have a save game
either does it? Guess you've never seen a walkthrough for it or any hints?
