In this video, Time Machine, released in 1990 for the Atari ST by Activision.
Professor Potts is a brilliant scientist always experimenting something new but, one day, some nasty terrorists thinks that he deserve some live granades while doing one of its experiments. The explosions create a time vortex in which the poor professor is sucked in and sent 10000000 years BC. Luckly his stun gun and 5 teleport beacons are still in his pockets and they will prove very useful in his quest: returning to the future and avoid granades. The game is divided into 5 zones and every zone has 5 historical stages. Your mission is simple, fix the historical anomalies to have access to the next time stage and return to present day. Easy to say hard to do, because every section is unstable and can reset all your previous fixes.
Graphically is simple but it's good to see how the sectors evolve with time. There is no scrolling, the animations are good enough. We have a good digitized intro and normal sound effects. There is in-game music but IMHO it is not worth. The playability is ok, but when you finish the game, there is nothing much left to do to convince the player to do another run.
Here you'll find intro and gameplay of me fixing the first level. There is no digital intro because if you look at the video, the intro started to corrupt and I had to skip it. Don't worry, you'll find the digitized track on another video.
