Thankie for the boxshot. Cool stuff. But hey, is that game any good? I've browsed through some reviews on various sites and they gave it some low marks (3/10 f.e.). Not that I trust those sites as they're probably loaded with ignorants.

PS. MPS is Microprose.

I'd say TM(Cryo) is a superb game. Fantastic graphic, awesome story, many different quest, high originality, cool atmosphere.

It can be a little unusual for many because it is french, but I saw people here like Little Big Adventure for example.

There are some drawbacks though. There can be some bugs (but I never complained because of them, so they aren't that serious or constant), and the engine has its limits (sometimes you have to shoot like in a Tombraider/Unreal, but the lack of the engine is countered by the various spells you have on your hand). Also the program has low requirement, what I always prefer.

The only "quest" what can cause real difficulty is a sidequest for one of the hourglasses (and this is not a must). You have to throw pebbles on a board (it is like throwing darts to make a comparsion). Nothing is set to stone () for this "quest", but the AI is VERY good (here and all over the game), so you'll have to throw a good score. The way it is done is setting the strenght and the direction of the throws.
With one word: it is hard to reach the needed amount. The AI won't cheat, only push you to reach a nice score, what is not easy to do.

And the final battle: it is awesome. Not too hard, not at all easy, full of fireworks. Definitly a game worth to try.

I'd give 7.8/10, and confess it doesn't really have anything to do with the novel Time Machine.

PS: the worst thing in the hunagarian edition was the dubbing. At the time the game arrived to Hunagry dubbing-voices for computergames were always the same people, who were most famous about the VERY low PRICE they costed. But even they could not ruin this game for me.
