LOST IN TIME - vintage game - any info?
This looks like it may have been the Granddaddy of the Adventure Games by Sierra-on-line ..
LOST IN TIME I was out yard saleing in Muskoka this summer in a rented car with an old girlfriend - looking to impress her I stopped at this absolute JUNK STORE by the side of Highway 11 and we browsed
low and behold I found a real treasure in a crate of old bottles.
The guy said to me give me ten bucks and you can have the whole crate... And I said no. because neither the crate nor the bottles are worth anything - Just the game, and he said 'take it' its yours and I thought how silly of him as I would have paid five bucks for the game... anyway its a game called Lost in Time - before you were born he was plotting your doom...

And it has really old crummy graphics on the front of a cute girl and a portal behind her containing all manner of male villains.. the screen captures on the back are absolutely primitive!
I mean it looks like Commodore Basic on the back – and I have everything, all twelve 3.5 inch disk, a boot and faq manual and game sheets.

Does anyone on here remember this game? Wha's it like and how much money do you think its worth today?

It actually isn't THAT old, around 15 years (considering Sierra's first graphical adventure came out in 1982, 26 years now). But nice find

I still have this sitting on my bookshelf, my oldest game:

Although I don't actually use the floppy disks to play it any more.
