Reviews for Time-Gate (#5286)

Review by dandyboy on 27 Jun 2011 (Rating: 5)

I remember playing this videogame at the early age of 7.

Videogames were a new thing back then and this hyper-space odyssey left a vivid impression upon me because of its cool atmosphere and its well-designed and strategic game-play.

It is a complex program and it can be confusing at times, but it was an excellent proposal back in 1983 !!!!!!!!!!

Magic ! I keep very fond memories of this game because I used to play it at Christmas Time at grandpa´s home so it got some sentimental extra-value for me .

Time Gate is a very rewarding experience for patient players .... an Star-Trek derivative in some ways , and a pretty good one .

One of the earliest space cockpit games with star field and all.
You must travel through space and time and reach different "sectors", in order to destroy the aliens, and then you can land on the planets, if there is any around, and refuel, recharge and repair your spaceship. Next step is to find a time-gate to go back in time, and face a new bunch of sectors. The final aim is to go back enough to destroy the Squarm aliens before they conquer the galaxy and attack mankind.
It's atmospheric and well done, althought, naturally, rather aged.
Your control panel is relatively rich of informations on the condition of your ship, your position, a radar with all the planets and aliens, etc.
