Journey Man 1 was better [Posted on 2001-03-28]
I know this version of Journey Man has cool graphics and is suppose to be more up-to-date but I did not like it. The voice of that little guy in the corner(authur) of the screen is so Annoying. The story plot is like for little kids. Very simple like. In additon this game is not supported with a sound blaster sound card. The sound sounds all jarbelled up. I think that this is a great game for little kids but for teens or adults, Myst, Zork, Riven, or any other adventure game is better.

Not good enough to finish [Posted on 2002-08-28]
At first, this was a fun game -- not too challenging (I tend to like 'em easy!), a good interface, excellent graphics and an entertaining story line. But after a while, the "go here ... then go back there to get the whazzit you need ... then go there ... go back" routine got old (particularly with all the CD swapping you have to do to transverse "times." Why is it the item you need in location 1 is always found in location 3 ... which requires a CD swap!!!

In addition, you have to change "chameleon" identities several times and talk to the same people again and again.

I did enjoy "Arthur" but the fun went out of it after a while.

Probably the Best!!! [Posted on 2005-07-07]
The Journeyman Project 3 is the best of the trilogy. This dvd version makes it even better, with enhanced graphics. I enjoyed this game very much.

Excellent game! [Posted on 2006-04-13]
Having only played the CD version previously, I speak with admittedly limited experience. However, I found the game very engaging and enjoyable. Granted, some parts tend to drone; however, considering the age of the game and the series, it is quite good. Most gamers who started with this age of gaming are rather spoiled by the (rather plotless) action or puzzle titles that have flooded the market. By comparing games like Journeyman Project to these, one can see a marked difference. Today's game producers stand on the shoulders of those who created games like this one. This game pioneered the 360-degree viewing concept, an idea that would take Myst a few years more to grasp. As a Myst fan AND a Journeyman Project fan, I find both series have interesting things and this game is no exception.

Great Older Game! Here's some tips on getting it working on modern OSs [Posted on 2007-09-29]
I love this game. I liked #2 too. Plenty has been said already, so let me cut to the chase.
If you decide to spend over $70 for a used copy of this game (IMO it's probably worth it) you at least want to know it's going to work! :)
I run Windows XP (MCE) with some fairly serious modern hardware and this procedure worked for me:

1> Recommend first uninstalling QuickTime (whatever version) if it's already installed on your machine.
2> Go ahead and install the game as normal.
3> When the game tells you it needs QuickTime 3.0 (ancient at this point) let it go ahead and install it.
4> When the game tells you it needs to install DirectX 5.0, choose the "Advanced" setup and when you get the part where it's just about to actually try to install DirectX 5.0, hit cancel. It will complain, but it didn't seem to affect anything. Actually, letting it try to install DX5 may not hurt anything either -- I just didn't want to risk it.
5> Now, go to Apple's web page and download the latest version of QuickTime (7.0 as of this writing -- you can always google this.)
6> Install this latest version, making sure the "Upgrade existing versions" checkbox is checked.
7> Launch the QuickTime movie player (an icon will have just been added to your desktop.) Then go to the "Edit" menu, select "Preferences", and then "QuickTime Preferences." That brings up another dialog -- select the "Advanced" tab, and in the "Video" section select "Safe mode (GDI only)".
8> Click Ok apply the change, then fire up Legacy of Time!!

That should do it (did for me anyway)! Hope you all continue to enjoy this great game!
