Originally the floppy versions of the laserdisc games were little more than PC version
of "choose-your-own-adventure" books, in which gameplay is boiled down to choosing
an action from multiple choices. The PC versions were, naturally, cut-down versions from
Laserdisc originals, with many sequences missing altogether. It wasn't until the
advent of CD-ROM that Readysoft (now sold to Digital Leisure) started making "deluxe"
versions of these games and put them on CD-ROM in 1996 and later on DVD in 1999. This one is based on Don Bluth's laserdisc arcade game of the same name. Princess Daphne has been spirited away to a wrinkle in time by the Evil Wizard Mordroc who plans to force her into marriage. Only you, Dirk the Daring, can save her. Transported by a bumbling old time machine, you begin the rescue mission. But you must hurry, for once the Casket of Doom has opened, Mordroc will place the Death Ring upon Daphne's finger in marriage and she
will be lost forever in the Time Warp. |
