Anybody played Cyberflix's "Titanic: Adventure Out of Time"?
 

I was going through some old computer games I found, and I discovered the game Cyberflix's Titanic: Adventure Out of Time (1996).

For those who don't know what it is, unlike what some may think with the association with James Cameron's movie :P, this game is a historical adventure game. The player is a British spy who is aboard the Titanic, and must mingle with the wealthy and poor, and through conversation, investigating, solving puzzles, and even engaging in some fights (point and click interaction though)... to obtain particular items to prevent World War I, World War II, and the Communist Russian Revolution.
On top of all that, you have to save yourself from the ship's fateful end.

Here's a small promotional trailer of it (remember this is a 1996 computer game people :P):


Here's a small Wikipedia article about it, if anyone's interested. But just to forewarn you the summary gives away spoilers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic...re_Out_of_Time

So have any of you played it before? It would pretty cool if there was updated version of it with today's graphics.

I doubt you'll get many responses. It's a pretty obscure game. But my heart warmed right up when I saw the thread title. I spent a lot of time on Titanic: Adventure Out of Time. This was back in '97/'98, when the movie had just come out and I'd fallen into a real hardcore fascination with the ship and its history that would last for at least a couple of years.

Adventure Out of Time was great. It hasn't aged well, I wouldn't think -- though I haven't played it in forever -- but I remember spending soooo much time navigating the ship, gathering clues, meeting in the Parisian cafe, seeking out Pringle's cabin (C deck, I believe), talking to the psychic near the Grand Staircase.

There are lots of sweet easter eggs and bonuses, too. (Have you visited Zeitel's cabin during the sinking? Or found the Cyberflix game boxes in the Turkish baths?)

Gah, so many memories.

My favourite sinking ship game is S.O.S.. It also happens to be the only one I've ever played.

Yeah, I loved the game too. With me, I had to make sure I knew the ship's design in and out because during the sinking phase of the game, it won't allow you to jump all over the ship as when its sailing. :lol: Dang that was a long ways to go from a C-deck cabin in the 1st class room or the A-deck smoking room, run all the way to the Grand Staircase just to go to the Boat Deck, run all the way back aft to the Second Class Staircase, and run down 7-8 floors to go all the way to the Turbine Room. :lol:

Yeah, I found Zeitel's cabin during the sinking (even when I didn't have too; by using the pen and Vlad taking the notebook).:P Just so I could defuse the bomb. I always tried to push myself in trying to do everything, and save everybody (even Georgia who's poisoned in Sasha's cabin and rescuing the baby to give him to the Irish maid) during the sinking.

As for the Cyberflix game boxes in Turkish baths, it sounds vaguely familiar.

What's hilarious with the point-and-click game aspect, is that whenever it came to the fencing aspect with Willi or fighting Vlad, I just clicked the mouse like a crazy madman toward them. Was there really any technique to that? :lol:

In case anyone is interested, I discovered a fanblog of the game here:

I discovered some good news also with playing the game. This Play Old PC games website via the fanblog I just mentioned above, has an installer to play on newer operating systems. I downloaded the installer and everything seems to work fine (using Windows 7), except when I leave the Grand Staircase to go to the Boat Deck, it immediately takes me to A Deck (a floor below). Therefore the only way to get on the Boat Deck is to go through the Gymnasium after leaving the Grand Staircase on the starboard side, to reach the Boat Deck. If anybody is familiar with the game, this one small alternative route becomes the only possible way to leave the First Class area to reach the Boat Deck and therefore leave the sinking ship or go to the Second Class Stairwell during the sinking phase of the game.

Plus the fanblog provides a link to a website to play the game online without the hassle of installing it on the computer (with several languages and has the English demo too, "The Lost Mission"). Here it is: http://www.danielhobi.ch/taoot/
The only thing that seems a bit suspicious is that the fanblog says that your Java Security Settings may have to be changed/blocked. So try at your own risk if you feel comfortable enough.

Yes! I loved this game when I was a kid. It was so fun exploring the Titanic and solving the mystery and stuff. Great game, there honestly should be a PS4 remaster. I mean, come on, you know you want to explore the Titanic with next-gen graphics. Don't deny it :D
