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.

    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 remember always seeing these games in the store, and advertised in magazines. I need to seek these out.

    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!

    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.
