SandsofTime This is an Adventure Game Mactivity's CD-ROM nr 10 advice: This application did not run on a b/w 68030 processor running under System 7.1, so try this one only on Macintoshes running under System 6. No guarantee. Sands of Time is different than some adventure games in that it is a graphic adventure game. This is not to say that it is lewd, but rather that a graphic as well as text description is presented for each circumstance that you find yourself in. You will be presented with a picture and a textual description of where you're at. Both can, and should, be used to help you solve the puzzles and successfully master this game. Furthermore, Sands of Time is different than most graphic adventure games currently available in that it provides you with more than one view for most circumstances. This is described further below. Sands of Time includes several digitized sounds to enhance play. The author wishes to acknowledge and thank the many sources that supplied him with sounds. More information on sounds is supplied in a section below. When you play Sands of Time, you will be taking the role of Elroy Centron, the hero (or goat, depending on how you play) of the adventure. You will be given a specific goal to accomplish, and most of the game will center around this goal. You proceed by giving instructions such as "get book", "go east", "knock on door", etc. Unfortunately, my parser can't understand all of the many ways you can say something, so there may be times when you have to keep trying different phrases to accomplish what you wish. For instance, if "climb up stairs" doesn't work, you might try "go up" or "walk up stairs". Back to the Computer Games Index
