Getaway! (video game)
Getaway! is a crime-themed scrolling maze game for the Atari 8-bit family designed by Mark Reid and published by the Atari Program Exchange (APX) in 1982. The game won the 1983 $25,000 Atari Star Award for best APX submission, an award previously won by My First Alphabet and Typo Attack. Prior to Getaway!, Reid developed a skiing game, Downhill, also published by APX.
According to Reid, Atari was impressed with Getaway! and had "big plans" for the game, but the North American video game crash of 1983 occurred before this could happen.
A non-digital illustration of Getaway! was featured on the cover of the Fall 1983 APX catalog.
Gameplay
Getaway! takes place on scrolling map of a town, 35 screens in size. You leave your hideout and drive around the maze using up gasoline in the process. Pausing at a gas station refills the tank.
Also in the maze are dollar signs (which give a little money when collected), armored vans (which give a lot of money and immediately alert the police to your presence), and three loot items. To complete a level you must collect all three loot items, then the armored van, and then return to your hideout.
Getaway (Earth, Wind & Fire song)
"Getaway" was a hit song for R&B/funk band Earth, Wind & Fire in 1976 and written by Beloyd Taylor and Peter Cor Belenky and first produced on BELOYD by Melvin Ware who then made the deal to split publishing with EWF. Released from their Spirit album, it spent two weeks at number one on the R&B singles chart and peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. Along with the track, "Saturday Nite", "Getaway" peaked at number twelve on the disco charts. It has been covered by Lee Ritenour and His Gentle Thoughts.
Reception
"Getaway" sold over a million copies and has been certified gold as up until the RIAA lowered the sales levels for certified singles in 1989, a gold single equaled 1 million units sold.

At The Dawn Of The Punishment
by: GotherfallIn order to escape from abhorrence of life
Some promise their allegiance to God
They sink deep into stupidity
So feeble and blind they are...
Across the dark landscape
Misleading by its appearance
Amon the weak ones
Over humans a great plague shall be spread
By vaginal transmission; fotus-shaped
A disease, limitless, in every society
No matter its doctrine or blood
At the dawn of the punishment
Thou shalt regret thine execrable life
Thou shalt kneel down facing the eclipse
And wish that your life never been so far
Eradication: Haunting my thoughts
Every single day God gives us
Hence I must poison men's existence
Session of massacre upon the channels
Duality in conflict unable to merge
A man-made clinic scheme:
Calamitronic dissolution to chronic sin...
With empty ocular apertures
We look from below
With hope of seeing him
The creator of nothing and everything
Holding in his hand
The almighty virus
To counter the demons
And those masked men behind them
In the night we wander
By the moonlight digging our way
Through sewers between excrements and vermin
Trying to save what remains of sanity
At the dawn of the punishment
Thou shalt regret thine execrable life
Thou shalt kneel down facing the eclipse
And wish that your life never been so far
Eradication: Haunting my thoughts
Every single day God gives us
Hence I must poison men's existence
Session of massacre upon the channels
Duality in conflict unable to merge
A man-made clinic scheme:
Calamitronic dissolution to chronic sin...
With empty ocular apertures
We look from below
With hope of seeing him
The architect of the black sphere
Holding in his hands
The almighty sword
To counter the demons
And those masked men behind them
"By night suffocate, you can't breather here anymore
By man - the stopped run of the haemogoblin
The only true doctrine remaining now
Is the one formerly known as Asphyxia
To escape our world..."
A night feast under the darkened sun
A sacred ritual under the lightened moon
Traveling from locations to others
In a cosmic trip, caressing blades
"Holy steel
Leading mortals to their fatality
In a so beatiful destiny we drown"
At the dawn of the punishment
Thou shalt regret thine execrable life
Thou shalt kneel down facing the eclipse
And wish that your life never been so far
Spiral warfare in a forest of bones
Crushing the wuphoric civilization
With an upheaval of thorns tightening its heart
Oniriction crashing at once
The end of an age believed to last eternally
The failure of the beast, the fall of man
Soothed by bloodrains and lullaby
With the tortuous wind appearing as a prophet
It's time for the dead nature to appear, desolated
A night feast under the darkened sun...
A sacred ritual under the lightened moon
Eradication: Haunting my thoughts
Every single day God gives us
Awaiting at the gate of our time
Its breath ignites our soil to dust
À l'aube du châtiment
