The Time Machine

Part of Brian Howarth's Mysterious Adventures

Author:Brian Howarth
Publisher:Adventure International
Genre:Science Fiction>Time Travel
Released:1981
License:Former commercial
Review:

A rescue mission through 5 rather small eras. Two-word parser, minimalist style. Reasonable puzzles, but has some word-guessing problems and an unreasonable death or two.

Rating: **
