5.0 out of 5 stars Take A Tour on the Titanic and Change History!, December 5, 2002

This game is so intriguing and so realistic I found myself rushing to my computer after work to play it. In this game, you're free to tour the famous ship: the gymnasium, wireless room, smoking room, cabins, Turkish bath, even the engine, turbine, and boiler rooms and the top of the last smoke stack! You get to meet all sorts of characters, from social debutantes to a Serbian revolutionist. Listen to what they say. Each character gives you clues that will help you solve the game. In solving the game, you will perform tasks like sending a wireless, developing negatives, and decoding messages. It is a game that requires strategy, observation, and thought. Try out your ideas-they may work. My advice is to save this game often as you're playing and several times at various stages so you can return to a spot when you think you've figured something out. This game is not difficult, but does take time and thought. Don't give up, it's worth it in the end. As a former history major, I appreciate the period items you find on the ship (including a wax-cylinder gramophone which was a bit out of date even for the Titanic) and the lessons you get in the events that led to the First World War. You won't be able to save the Titanic, but you might be able to change history by altering the past. I also recommend the book "Titanic Adventure Out of Time Hints and Solutions" not just to solve the game (you may be able to solve it without it) but as an interesting supplement to the historical and scientific themes of the game.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Graphics, Okay Game, December 8, 2000

I think exploring the Titanic on the computer is a lot of fun. The graphics are excellent, and you do sort of feel like you are really there. Some of the rooms are very exquisitely decorated, and it's neat to walk out on the deck.

I think the game is okay, as adventure games go. Pro: The story is pretty good. It progresses at a pretty good pace. Cons: The navigation is a bit difficult in some rooms. Also, this is one of those games where you spend a lot of time interacting with characters, and choosing from a list of responses. Like many adventure games with video, some of the acting is not stellar.

I think this game is worth buying if you like to explore, and are intrigued by the Titanic story.

I was born and reared in Belfast City. Titanic and the stories of Titanic have always amazed me.

With The Ultimate Titanic Collection I can use Virtual Tours and Gaming to enhance the feeling of what it must have been like on the ship of Dreams. The Graphics are EXCELLENT !

If you never do anything else in your life...Take a look at this piece of software...Its AWESOME !

Good Luck from Belfast
