I know that this game 'Les voyageurs du temps' is very hard and that the interface asks to be a bit too precise with the mouse pointer but i put the note of 9/10.As this game has such a dreamlike atmosphere, is so beautiful and has such a good scenario, I can't do otherwise.

For the time it was released it was really outstanding even with the "problems" earlier comments feature. I like it and I think it is a timeless one. Every adventure fan should have played this because of it's great artdesign making it very atmospheric. And yes ... It is hard and unfair ... But isn't this the way life is tending to happen anyway ?!?

Graphics 7/10 (why make tiny rooms when you can draw them fullscreen?)
Sound 9/10
Playability 0/10
Overal 4/10 (Playability counts double...)

Could be a masterpiece, but with so many problems (dying easily, "come a little closer", being able to progress without necessary items) I'd just leave it aside and play Loom, Universe or Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis instead...

Comparing this game to Indiana Jones 3 is ridiculous. Future Wars maybe has an interesting story but the whole user interface and handling is a bit jerky. The biggest problem of this game are objects of 1 pixel size which you have to collect and when you try it you get the response that you should come a little closer... After some time you end up hopelessly looking for things that are nearly not there or they are only when you are close enough. It becomes pretty annoying after some time. Add to this the fact that you can actually progress through the game without necessary items what will eventualy get you stuck in some part of the game and there is no way of getting back to the point where the item was located. Next downside is arcade parts of the game that in combination with a jerky interface are annoying even more. In overall this is an average adventure game only for hardcore fans of the genre.

Probably the best adventure game ever made for the Amiga during the 1980's, along with Indy last crusade. The music/fx was superb.

I remember buying this on budget; one of those lovely small, slim boxes. The game looked good, and, although not a fervent fan of adventure games, I do enjoy a good one. Unfortunately, I was still young at the time (probably 12-14), and I've never been particularly good at problem solving, so I got stuck just a few rooms into the start building! I should have stuck to window cleaning.... By all accounts it was a top game, shame I never unlocked its potential.

A classic! This and operation stealth were my favourites for a very long time.

Fond memories of this game, not so fond a memories of the second disc having a read write error!

But now i can try again and finally finish it! YAY! Awesome adventure right from the opening credits!

Beautiful game, just like the magazine ads said. Future wars is one which should be played--but there are problems. The pacing is slowed by the amount of "pixel-hunting" you have to do. Eyestrain aside--it's a good game.

I like the game, the technical aspects are really awesome. There are very nasty features though - you can miss some items, the game lets you pass and you need these items later, but you can't return. Also there are some moments, where you can die quickly. So I recommend to save OFTEN and to MANY slots.

Great graphics (having "style" this means that they are good even on the actual standards, as everything that have style), very good atmosphere, i loved this, the only little problem is the fact that you can go ahead, and you have forgotten an object so you are blocked and you cant proceed further on. I think this was a problem with all the "early" adventures, so if you are not a maniac who click on every single pixel of the screen in search of a possible object, this cant be completed without a guide. Anyway this is one of the best early adventures and if you have a guide to check here and there when you are stuck, an excellent experience.

An excellent precursor to Another World. It had some pixel-hunting issues, and you could get stuck, forcing you to load a previously saved game, but it was still an immersing adventure during which you could lose entire afternoons without glancing at the clock. Lots of fun and had unique graphics, the most memorable image for me being the reflection of the city on the windows of the building as you wash the outside panes from the scaffold.

I remember playing this a lot the summer between college and the "real world." Ah, escapism...

Super atmosphere, good balanced adventure... Delphine quality! Perfect evocative music and good plot. A must-to-have.

I didn't like the gameplay, but the graphics were so stylish and atmospheric I was blown away. No wonder: they were done by Eric Chahi, who later went on to produce "Another World", one of my favourite games of all times.

A lovely game.. One that got you involved straight off.. Agreed the pixel hunting nature at the start was a little naughty but a good game with a good story.

Operation Stealth was a disappointment after playing this however.

This was one of the first point and click adventure games I ever played and jeez, did it blow me away! I totally loved the thought of interacting with those lavishly drawn backgrounds, and will never forget the bucket of water on the boss's head at the start. Totally mind blowing!!!

What a gane to play. First off this adventure game wasn't around when the likes of Monkey Island were out or indeed some of the Indiana Jones adventure type games either. This was a milestone in adventuring history.

The game has lush GFX, nice sound, atmospheric music and a fantastic storyline to which you can get well engrossed into & to be quite honest this would go down as a good film.

As far as I'm concerned everyone's comments on this game initially are all correct and good, except for people who say "not as good as Monkey Island", hmm that's cos this game was out before Monkey Island, Duh!

Anyway Delphine Software in my opinion had went from strength to strength in their adventure games, following success was the likes Operation Stealth, Cruise for a Corpse, Another World, Flashback and so on.

Gotta agree with the previous posts. Nice first game in the genre for Delphine and they would really get the hang of point and clickers with Operation Stealth, still, if you have the occassional hint from a walkthrough a very nice adventure.

Really nice and atmospheric adventure game by Delphine. A game with some frustrating moments - I never got far myself, but the graphics and settings will keep you interested. If you like this game you might want to try Operation Stealth too.

An enjoyable and entertaining debut by Delphine. Small but stylishly detailed graphics. Also some clever twists in time-travelling concept. As said below, sudden deaths and pixel hunting for some objects were frustrating but considering this was the team's first adventure game they were small neglects.

Great French adventure, with superb graphics and music. It has instant deaths and some stupid problems requiring pixel spotting, but I could forgive that as the story sucks you in so well (OK, so I played it with a walktrough eventually). A pre-LucasArts classic.

Another quality title from French developers Delphine. It may not be up there with Monkey Island and the Lucasarts adventures, but it really is a fun game to play. I never did manage to finish it; but I'm certainly going to give it a go soon!
