Timequest

A good adventure game that hasn't aged too badly. Runs well without screwing around, parser generally cooperates with what you want to do. Puzzles feel about right, difficulty-wise, maybe a little too easy in some cases. The game is often funny without being a comedy.

This open-ended approach gives the game a sense of scale and freedom that feels ambitious even by today’s standards. At the same time, it demands a great deal of…

while im to old to figure these out so i just find a walkthrough to go on the adventure, im really enjoying it so far, i made it to Rome , tho they didn't remove the copy protection so i had to google it and screenshot the INTERKRON TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE i guess it isn't a big deal but it could have been at least noted but outside of that, it is def a great text adventure with awesome active visuals!
