Beyond the Titanic

Author:Scott Miller
Genre:Science Fiction>Time Travel
Released:1984
Review:

Surviving the most famous maritime disaster in history almost seems irrelevant in this tale of buried alien spaceships and abandoned futuristic cities. The story is cute but rather linear, with a less-than-completely-satisfying ending. Nice use of randomly-appearing scenery to enhance the sense of loneliness and danger, a small maze or two, a limited light source, hunger, PC Internal Speaker sound effects, occasional fatal errors and misspellings. Saves only to drive B, but this can be overcome through the MS-DOS SUBST command.

Rating: ***
