Escape from Rungistan is an interactive fiction video game written by Bob Blauschild for the Apple II and released by Sirius Software in 1982.

[1] The instructions at the opening of the game describe the situation: You are about to cross the border into the country of Rungistan in Central Africa.

Your only hope in that case would be to escape from the cell and make it back across the border.Rungistan combines graphical elements with text-based commands.

The game begins with the player sitting in a jail cell and one is asked to enter a command.

Softline in 1982 liked the "precise, colorful graphics", animated arcade sequences, and built-in hints, and stated that "The puzzles are otherwise challenging enough for the average adventurer".
