Customer Review: FAVORITE GAME EVER!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot say enough about this game. So i will keep it short.
I originally beat Titanic: Adventure back in Time back in 1996 and recently beat it again. It still holds up as my favorite game of all time.
From the Music to the story everything is perfect. Music is suspenseful and sorrow full and is composed beautifully.
To make it run on XP just right click on it, go to properties and change compatibility to windows 95. Theres no need to use Virtual PC.
NOW GET THIS GAME AND GO ON AN
ADVENTURE OUT OF TIME!!
ENJOY

Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking for a great adventure game, there's no need to look further then "Titanic: Adventure out of Time." All the elements that make a wonderful adventure game are here; an intriguing story, great environment, interesting characters to interact with, and it can even make your heart pound. I have played it a numberless amount of times. This is a game that is timeless.
The Story:
The game begins in a shabby apartment during World War II where you, an ex-secret agent, are still brooding over the mission you failed on the Titanic decades ago. However, you get another chance when the Germans bomb the city and you go back in time to that fateful night onboard the Titanic. Your mission begins when your contact onboard instructs you to find the stolen copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. And the adventure officially begins; murder, blackmail, hobnobbing with the first class passengers-you name it. Besides the main plot, there are secondary plots you can get involved in, which make the game all the more interesting. You can die in the game, and you can also loose; however, if you win, it's pretty much a feel-good ending. Unfortunately, you can't save the Titanic from sinking-at least I haven't found a way to.
Environment:
Except for the very first and last part, the game takes place onboard the RMS. Titanic. This was a great environment for me since I am especially interested in the inside of the Titanic. However, either way, it made an excellent place to set a spy/mystery adventure game, from the luxurious Grand Staircase, to the long, silent corridors of Scotland Road. The interiors of the ship are surprisingly accurate, despite a few errors, and Titanic buffs especially will enjoy visiting such places as the first class smoking room, Caf? Parisien, reception room and even the ship's inner workings. There are a number of places at are non-accessible or locked, such as the palm court, the first class dining salon and much of the second and third class areas. However, there is still a large amount of space to navigate; in fact, you might even want to consider taking the tour so you can familiarize yourself with the ship before you play the game.
The Characters:
There are live actors in this game, instead of computer-animated characters. The acting is some of the best I have ever seen in a computer game, and the characters are well-developed and believable. There are all types of people on this ship ranging from the young American couple on their honeymoon to the evil German Colonel.
Other Aspects: This is a first-person adventure game; you move around using the arrow-keys on the keyboard. Once you get the hang of them, you can move very quickly. The game also has a map of the ship, and certain areas are highlighted so that you can instantly "jump" to them without having to run there yourself. (When the ship is sinking, this "jumping" feature is disabled) The graphics in this game are good; the biggest problem with them is that when you move they blur for a split second. However, if there are newer versions, this might be cleared up.
"Titanic," is moved forward mostly by dialogue and certain actions, such as retrieving a painting, unlike many adventure games today, which seem to be more mystery/puzzle games. You go from one puzzle to another to another or have to spend half the playing time moving the mouse over every inch of the interface in attempt to find some infinitesimal object.
As I said earlier, "Titanic" is a great adventure game, and, at least for me, setting standards that no other adventure game has matched. Hopefully, the creators of the new adventure games try to follow "Titanic's" example and in the future make actual "adventures" instead of endless puzzles.
Customer Review: Titanic soars
Summary: 5 Stars
Great game with different endings. Be sure to save a lot. You CAN die. Took a lot of memory. But it is worth it. This is second time playing it. Music is melencholy...sp?
Lots of ways to go. Many choices. Do not see that very often.
An oldy but a great one for me. First time I played, I thought the dame was a mutton head and in my way. I did not know I was supposed to love her. So keep that in mind.
Customer Review: Simply Brilliant
Summary: 4 Stars
As a child, I was introduced to the Titanic's story by my grandparents. My grandmother showed me this game. I spent countless hours in front of that computer, trying to solve the mysteries that the many rooms of the Titanic held. It was simply astounding.
I went back to have another go, several months ago, and I am still rather amazed by the things I saw. The graphics, for their time, were spectacular (at least in my opinion). Honestly, they're more tolerable than some of our modern-day graphics. The game play wasn't terribly complicated. It was easy to move about, simply by using the arrow keys. Navigating the screen was a simple matter of pointing and clicking. Holding conversations with the other passengers was intriguing. Sometimes, the things they said would help you progress in the game. Other times, it would just be fascinating information relevant to the time period.
I'll admit, the game can get rather frustrating. To this day, I have not beaten it (though I have come close a few times!). It's helpful to write down information that is given to you as you play. Otherwise, there is the chance that you'll forget it, since the game won't remember everything for you. And the game did freeze up a lot. This was part of the reason for my never completing it. I'd spend so much time trying to get the game unfrozen, that I'd run out of patience to continue playing the actual game.
All in all though, it really is a splendid game, which provides hours and hours of entertainment, for those with just a little bit of patience.
Customer Review: Great Game worth your money
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this game was fantastic! It is very addicting. I first played it when it first came out in 1998 at my friend's house. Then I bought it for myself about three years later. I have beat the game with an unhappy ending, so I still feel I didn't do one of the tasks right. The Hints and Solutions book is a wonderful asset to this game. If I didn't have that book, I think I would have been completely lost on what I was supposed to do on the game. This is a fun game for history buffs or fans of Titanic.
