Future Wars: Adventures in Time

Time travel stories tend to get complicated quickly, and Future Wars: Adventures in Time embraces that chaos with enthusiasm. Released in 1990, this cinematic adventure casts you as an unsuspecting hero recruited to stop a villain who has decided history itself is a convenient playground. The game blends puzzle solving with a narrative that hops between different eras, sometimes leaving players wondering whether they’re saving the timeline or accidentally rearranging it. The interface belongs to the early generation of point-and-click experiments, which means a bit of patience helps. Still, the atmosphere and ambition shine through, offering an adventure that feels grander than its technical limitations might suggest.

Future Wars: Adventures in Time review

Zero Magazine - Issue 02 (1989): "The look and gameplay of Future Wars owes a lot to the Sierra On-Line style of arcade adventure. But, where the Sierra games are simple and quite accessible, Future Wars is complex and hard to get into - but it does have an atmosphere that's lacking in the other games. I'd say curiosity is probably the main motivating force when playing this game - curiosity about the later screens, curiosity about the solutions to the problems and curiosity about what the objects do... Brilliant." - Overall score: 90.
