How am I back at school already??? I swear it was just Christmas a few days ago… what happened? Everything is a holiday blur, and I’m back to hitting the books again for my very last semester. But I’m not going to think about that right now because I wind up crying and having panic attacks when I think about what I’m going to do once graduation rolls around. Anyhow, what better way to distract myself from reality than a game! This time I decided to try Treasure Seekers: The Time Has Come. It seemed somewhat appropriate considering my frame of mind lately.
I will admit, I’ve never played the Treasure Seekers games before, but after this one, I am definitely a huge fan, and I’m going to have to go try the other ones as soon as I get some time… like maybe after my first paper is assigned this semester… yes, that sounds good.
Anyhow, the premise of the game is your old nemesis is back and has captured your sister Nelly. You, Tommy, must now rescue her and save the world from a great catastrophe that will destroy the world… you know… like how the world is supposed to end this year… ask my mother she totally believes it… sigh. Moving on…
As Tommy, you soon discover that the key to saving the world is none other than the Holy Grail! From this point on it’s a true Grail hunt, Indiana Jones style! Except you get to travel back and forth in time from the future to the past in order to solve puzzles and find the objects you need to save the world.
I have to admit that I loved this game! It had a great story, one in which I was finally able to use my safari hat… too bad I don’t have a whip… hmmmm I wonder if Anne’s got one… I bet Lucy has one... teehee!
The graphics were great and the puzzles were challenging but nothing that made me want to throw my computer out the window. Overall, super fun to play and a great way to spend a cold winter’s day snuggled up with my laptop and a cup of hot cocoa… just don't forget to serve it in a grail cup... eternal life and all that...
