Titanic: Adventure out of Time

"Childhood Memories Reunited."

Growing up before my senior year, there were only two of the most memorable events that happened. 1) September 11th and 2) The movie/obsession with Titanic. What can I say? I found nothing else interesting. Then my family got "Titanic: Adventure Out of Time" and I couldn't wait to start playing it. Well I was 10 or 11 around then, and my oldest sister told me that I would have nightmares from it. On the contrary. A few years later, I played it and had the best time of my life! In fact, I won the game! A feet that my sister couldn't do, mind you. Haha! Poo on you Jessi!

The story line is simple enough to follow. You start off as an ex-member of Her Majesty's Secret Service. You chickened out on your mission to stop espionage aboard the Titanic. You live in a dirty apartment with possibly no love life at all. In other words, you are a LOSER! Just when you contemplate the saddness of your life, probably for the millionth time, a bomb shatters your neighborhood. Finally, you are given a second chance to redeme yourself. In a flash you are taken back to the night the Titanic sank, hoping you don't screw up again. Haha! After the life you just saw, I hope you aren't considering that option.

Dangers await for you to take. Puzzles long to be solved. Affairs waiting to be discovered. You have until the Titanic sinks below the crashing waves to make it out alive with the Rubyiatt, a painting by Adolf Hitler with a hidden map on the back, and a notebook with a list of names of anti-czarists. Getting these items could potentially change history. Stopping the murder of the Romanauvs, World War 2, and slowing down the depression of our world today. Will you make it off the boat alive? Can you be able change time?? I hope so, because if you didn't, then I must be really smart. (Or I might be as bad as you and needed a walkthrough. *hint hint* Thank-you the maker of the walkthrough I used when I was stumpped.)

All in all. For the time era was made, the graphics were probably the best at the time. The puzzles were phenomical. And the historical impact was...interesting. Let's say I won my quiz bowl team some points thanks to this game. Haha to those who didn't know who written the Rubyiatt or anything about it! Sorry got carried away there for a second.
