About this game

Welcome to the future! The freak time warp that picked you up in the late 1980s has dropped you here in the 23d Century. While over two centuries have passed, you should be familiar with much of what you find here. We have shopping malls, subway systems, city halls. You might even find a bulletin board system still operating.

Of course, some things have changed. The human race, for example, no longer exists. (There was a nasty little war some years back, complete with neutron bombs and biological warfare.) You aren't alone however; robots still go about the jobs they were programmed to do. Of course, without humans, the robots haven't been maintained very well. Some of the robots you encounter will exhibit quite strange, and deadly, behavior.

By now, you should be convinced that the 23d Century is no place for humans. While it IS possible for you to return to the 20th Century , the journey back to the past is sure to test your ingenuity and imagination. Good luck!
