- "The Labyrinth of Time" published by E/A, on CD ROM only, created
- by Bradley W. Schenck, with all graphics raytraced in Imagine and
- displayed in HAM 4096 (the best damn looking HAM 4096 you have
- ever seen, too) is, in my opinion, one of if not the most impressive
- Amiga RPG ever created. Well perhaps not an RPG since you don't
- really interact with any other characters, but rather you're alone
- in a surrealistic Myst-like world that shifts through time and
- space, trying to piece together counfounding puzzles in dozens
- of gorgeous locations.
-
- There are loads of red herrings, many animations, a terrific moody
- musical score, sound f/x, etc. etc. and basically the game just
- puts you in a place the likes of which you've never seen before.
-
- Oddly enough, despite having been released two years ago it was
- just recently reviewed in Amazing Computing.
-
- If you own an Amiga (any Amiga, or a CDTV or CD32) with a CD-ROM
- drive on it, Labyrinth is not to be missed.
