This game is written for review of windows 3.1 DOS.The main character is a female minority who goes back in time in order to prevent this thief from destroying her ancestors, thus destroying her. Lost in Time is a point-n-click adventure game. The graphics were considered "state of art" back then and are still pretty decent today. You'll be interacting with several creatures,items and people in order to find the culprit that is trying to rid of you. This game is aimed towards a female audience(the romance, the main character being female...). I have no real complaints about this game, except for today's standards this game would seem short in game play. On one of the seemingly-abondoned spanish ships you'll come across a prisoner/slave in chains behind a wooden panel. There's only just a hole to see through to him. There is nothing treacherous in this game that can hurt you (weapons, monsters, bloody gross stuff) unlike other point-n-click games, who have a tendency of having horror elements added to their game play. There is barely to no violence in the game at all (except in the end where someone falls off a cliff, i won't say who so no spoilers). The only way you can get a "game-over" is when one of the characters alerts others to your presence, which by far only two can do (a parrot and a guy in a hut). Be ready to mix items together to solve puzzles within your area and move onto the next level. There are no "time-restraints" you can take as much time as you please with this game, except for the stage at the very end by what you do is crucial to your success or your failure of being doomed for eternity. So by far this is a good "E" rated game, since they did not rate games back then. This little gem is recommended for any casual female gamer that wants something simple, yet intriguing environment-interaction, puzzles that make you think.

Can't say if it's a good game or not since we never got it to play. It only works on Windows 98 operating system and all attempts to get Windows XP to emulate Win 98 proved futile. If you're a techno wiz, you might get it to play but it's probably more work than it's worth.

I played this game many years ago (pre-Windows XP) and I did have some problems with getting it to play on the OS I had then, but after doing some research, I was able to get it working.

The game requires you to gather objects and use them in conjunction with each other in order to build/create things that will progress you through the game. I thought the graphics were good for its time and the game was definitely challenging. I had a good time playing this, but I admit that I did have to get some help a few times from others that had solved the game. :)
