Here in Brazil there was a MSX game called “Alcatraz a fuga impossível” (Alcatraz the impossible escape). A fun adventure game that was both sold, and had its listing published on MSX books at the time.

Inspired by the game, Icon Games developed “Escape from Alcatraz” a game with the same premise: you’re a prisoner on Alcatraz and must escape!

There is also an article on gamedev.net explaining a little bit of the development process.

The game is both on portuguese and english, available on iOS and Android and the best part: it’s totally free!
