Time Bandit

Moby ID: 2468

DOS version

Still has some things to work out

The Good
The game is unique. I've never seen anything else like it. I am sure that without the bugs, this game would be a timeless classic. Right up there with S.T.U.N. Runner. I played this game as a child and it is still one of my favorites.

The Bad
The gameplay sucks, the bad guys are invincible and move way too fast. This is mostly due to some bugs, I think.

The Bottom Line
Your character may choose from a variety of different areas to loot from. Some are futuristic, and some are ancient and cryptic. It's sort of labyrinth-like and has monsters and all that good stuff, some of which are invincible to your phaser. The bugs cause just about all of the monsters to be invincible, however, which makes the game much harder than it should be. Hopefully once these bugs are fixed, the game will be as enjoyable as it was when playing it on the Atari ST.
