I found this amazing trilogy for free at a swap shop! The Legacy Of Time was my favorite game as a kid! I never played the others, but now is my chance.
Looks like, nasty weather…
And it may even rain.
My grandmother had the “turbo” version of #2 for some reason. It’s the only one I’ve ever played, but I loved it. The actual gameplay wasn’t great, but the graphics, sounds, and story all blew me away at that time. It was so futuristic and cool.
You got to try the #3 Legacy of time then! The characters are real actors filmed, the cut scenes are like small movies! I’ve never seen anything like this before (or after)
Full Motion Video (FMV) games were huge in the mid to lates 90s. Wing Commander even had Mark Hamill as a fighter pilot for multiple games using FMV. It was a weird time for games.
I did play this one. Good memories!
I was there weird kid in high school that had a Mac but still liked playing computer games. My band teacher lent me his copy. It was the first point and click adventure game I actually finished!
I loved point and click games! I definitely was that weird kid too lol
I’m from France and this gave was only in English (a family friend from San Francisco gave it to me) and I decided to finish it with a friend of mine that spoke English. We had a dictionary and looked up every word we didn’t understand. This game helped me learn English and now I live in New York!
My list of favorite point and clicks were:
- Atlantis (all 3 games) by Cryo (a French game studio)
- Versailles also by Cryo,
- basically all Cryo interactive games
- Amerzona
- Myst/Raven (but I didn’t play it as much, I liked the story driven ones and Myst was too much of a puzzle with no story for me)
I don’t think I ever tried these! I found them available on Archive so I will try them out.

I remember always seeing these games in the store, and advertised in magazines. I need to seek these out.
They’re on Internet archive… for archival reasons… 😉
Time to put on my archiving pants. Thank you!
I highly recommend the third one.
Cheers!
I don’t know anything about this game/series, but that looks like such a cool bundle. If I found that as a kid, I would be hyped as hell to play it. Can just imagine unfolding that packaging with all the discs would feel like opening a treasure chest.
Believe me I kinda had that feeling when I found it just sitting there in the swap shop (swap shop is a small shack at the dump where people put things they don’t want but still works. There are a lot of dishes, silverware, tools, moldy books, old toys, some old electronics, and sometimes retro games. I found a Wii classic controller and a GameGear there before and now this!)
Also I highly recommend playing the #3 Legacy of time (you can find it on Internet archive). It’s still awesome!
Wow I forgot about that one
I only played Project Turbo, and certainly never finished it, but it was incredible for its time. I still picture that hotel now and then. I need to find the soundtrack in all it’s glorious vaporwave goodness.
