Trivia
Named as the third most popular adventure title of the year (behind #1 Zork and #2 Hi-Res Adventure #3: Cranston Manor) in Softalk Magazine's 1981 Annual Readers Poll.
The Prisoner rose to 21st place on Softalk Magazine's "The Top Thirty" bestselling software list in June 1981.
EduWare never actually obtained a license from the television series' producers. The company simply called ITC, asked if they had any issues with a Prisoner-themed restaurant, and when ITC said that would be okay, EduWare decided they didn't need a license to make a Prisoner-inspired game.
The game was remade as "Prisoner 2" in 1981.
The rights to the game was eventually purchased by Sierra On-Line, Inc., but they never produced a sequel or remake because they reportedly couldn't find a designer with the right mindset, and original designer David Mullich wasn't willing to move to Oakhurst, California.
