Trivia
Debugging code
Similar to
Spellcasting 101's 'gwcheat' cheat,
Timequest has some debugging code (zmem, zget, etc), 'zget' allows you to take any item in the game, it can however mess up the interpreter if you 'zget player'.
European release
The European 5,25'' version of
Timequest has a different screenshot on the upper right of the back cover. While the US version features a screenshot of Mussolini and Hitler with the caption "Rome 1940 Deceive Mussolini and Hitler into thinking England has surrendered" the European version has a screenshot showing Winston Churchill and the caption says "Dover 1940 Give Churchill time to evacuate the troops at Dunkirk".
Also the 3.5" Disks of the European release show version number 1.1 instead of version 1.0 (US release).
