The first part of the retro, fan made game based in the same space and time as John Carpenter's 1981 cult classic film Escape From New York.

It's the future, the year 1997. 

Welcome to M island, a maximum-security prison which used to be a symbol of freedom and a vast thriving metropolis. The prison is surrounded by freezing cold water, a 50ft containment wall and patrolled 27/7 by the corrupt USPF, Inside the island there are no guards, just the prisoners and the lives they have made for themselves. The rules of M island are simple, Once you go in, you don't come out. You are prisoner 1 3 8 6 7, the convict known as Bugz. Tonight you have an escape plan to leave M-island forever...
