Escape from the Secret Science and Detention Base

Escape from SSADB, originally "Escape from the Soviet Science and Detention Base", is a text adventure in the tradition of great Basic adventures like those made by Scott Adams.  It was apparently Devid Meny's first adventure game, originally written for the TRS-80 Model 1/3. He also wrote a second adventure, PIRATE TREASURE, which takes place on a pirate ship and a desert island.

I ported SSADB to Micro Color Basic and made a few edits to the program and to the story premise to bring it up to date for the 2000s.  In my version, you are a government agent captured by the North Koreans and taken to a secret base hidden somewhere in the United States. While there you learn of a plan by Kim Jong Un to build and fire a nuclear missile from inside the US and make it look like an inside job, thus prompting a Russian counter attack and allowing the True Korea to repopulate the devastated earth. You must save the US from nuclear attack by getting out of your cell, finding proof about the plot and escape the base. If you succeed you will be a national hero; if you fail, the world is doomed.
