About this game

Prison is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure developed and released by Krisalis Software in 1989 for the Atari ST and Amiga.

Far into the future, The Galatci Federation is using an abandoned planet as a penal dumping ground for their underisables. A dead planet shrouded in dank clouds, Altrax, is entirely closed to the outside universe. The only way in, is teleportation, the only way out is death for those whom capital punishment is too light a sentence. Jag Edwars is an undercover federation policeman wrongly convicted for a crime he did not commit and teleported to Altrax for life. Inside his cell, Jag is told of a pleasure craft that strayed into Altrax warning beacons and crashed into the planet. You mus recover the escape pod, but we warned! The rival gangs of alien life forms are also looking for the pod and will try to ensure Jag doesn't reach it first.
