Time and Magik: The Trilogy

Time and Magik: The Trilogy collects three fantasy adventures into one package, offering a substantial journey through magical worlds filled with puzzles, strange characters and the occasional creature that clearly does not appreciate visitors. The games emphasize exploration and text-based interaction, requiring players to examine their surroundings, use objects intelligently and pay attention to descriptions. This is very much old-school adventure gaming, where a seemingly harmless item can become crucial several hours later and forgetting one line of dialogue can produce a spectacularly unproductive afternoon. The fantasy settings give the trilogy plenty of atmosphere, while the variety between its episodes keeps the collection interesting. Time and Magik: The Trilogy is best suited to patient players who enjoy solving problems through observation rather than reflexes. It is also a useful reminder of a time when computer adventures expected players to bring a notebook, a pencil and an alarming amount of determination.
