TimeQuest

(Legend Entertainment, 1991)
Note: this
is not the same game as Hype : The Time Quest,
which involved toy Playmobil characters.
One of the best text
adventures by the Legend software company, this even made it onto Techtite's list
of Top 50 Multimedia
Classics. The object is to save major moments in time
from being destroyed by a madman, before the future itself is
destroyed. From the days of Napoleon to WW2 to even an ancient temple,
you must put right what the prior time traveler has made wrong.
One cute touch was the way history was able to be "bent"
a little, in order to save the future. The game's sole flaw was,
arguably, its view of the past is a bit too biased. Apparently,
an English game designer knew a lot about Great Britain's role
in history, and that's it. Didn't any other country play
a pivotal role in history? Of course! However, it still was an
excellent time-travel game; one of the best.
