The Quest for the Time-bird

Based on the French comic series, The Quest for the Time-bird (1989, DOS) offers a fantasy adventure full of personality, odd creatures, and enough lore to fill a small library. The gameplay blends exploration with puzzle-solving as you guide the heroes on a mission to prevent cosmic disaster—no pressure. The art style is wonderfully distinctive, capturing the comic’s flair even with DOS limitations. Some puzzles lean toward the cryptic, but that’s half the fun: it feels like leafing through a mythical tome that occasionally smacks you for not paying attention. A charming, unusual gem for fantasy lovers.
