Prisoners of War - 8-bit Great Escape
176Prisoner of War for NES is not just a beat-em-up from the late 80s. It is a story about a guy who was thrown into the heart of a hostile jungle by war. He fights with enemies, with himself - only to go through this path to the end and see his home again.
In this video:
The game's history and its hidden depth.
Gameplay that surprised then and still captivates now.
A conversation about why the theme of "returning home" will always be eternal.
