Added on: 12 April 2007 Website: (none) Ratings: AGS Panel: (what is this?) Player rating: 72% Are you ready to find out what happened to the dinosaurs and their extinction? Then join Dr. Abraham Lutz in his attempt to reach that long passed Jurassic Age using one of his inventions:The time travel machine. Our Doctor is desperately trying to prove his own theories about why the big reptiles vanished from Earth 65 million years ago and at the same time, make a fool of one of his paleontologists colleagues. And the only way to do that is going to the Jurassic and checking by himself. Of course, getting there wont be that easy as he thought. Honouring the lasting tradition of adventure games, our old Doctor is going to need a lot of help to bring his journey to a good end. The story will take place in different spaces and times and will grab a laugh from you here and then (well, that is what I hope) given that the Doctor has a penchant for a cynical humour.

If you agree, send me an email to this address: kaldaya@hotmail.fr and I contact you. Thank you. :) Posted by J on 2008-01-16 at 15:22 (IP logged): A great little game. Most of the puzzles were good and logical and the writing was okay. I really loved the music, and even though some people disliked the ending, I thought that was just perfect :D The only minor gripes are some spelling errors in the english translation. Posted by JJ on 2007-08-17 at 06:56 (IP logged): Superb game! Awesome graphics & atmosphere like Pjin's earlier games. Though I wish there were more characters to interact with. There was essentially only 1 NPC. That made the places the doc visited quite static(?) Its between short to medium length. Posted by cat on 2007-06-15 at 17:03 (IP logged): Very good graphics, special animations for many actions. Puzzles were ok, some were too hard. Posted by jkohen on 2007-05-12 at 23:50 (IP logged): This game sports amazing art, custom texts for almost any action you can think of, tons of character animations, an interesting story line, a disappointing ending... everything has been said before and I fully agree with the others. A very solid game which I have enjoyed very much and for which I'm very grateful. However, I've noticed some contradictions between the lines that took some points off the writing. I.e., the main character mentions on several ocasions that the game respects common sense and physics, but then is proven wrong many times during the plot. Sarcasm, I could understand, but complaining many times about the pollution in our era, only to be sorry one line later about the lack of electricity on the country side in the past, seemed not a joke, but empty, careless whining. Posted by paolo on 2007-04-20 at 15:28 (IP logged): This is a very nice-looking game, with puzzles that are not too taxing. I have to agree about the ending - I thought it was a let-down after what was promised in the blurb. I'd say it is a medium-length game too rather than a full-length one. It still gets a thumbs-up and a recommendation from me. Posted by mr.me on 2007-04-17 at 00:09 (IP logged): Fun game. It was very funny, had clever puzzles, and great music and story. I thought the game was short though, right when you think the adventure is just getting started it ends. I would love to see a prequel, sequel, or spin off of this game. Posted by Ariadne on 2007-04-16 at 12:58 (IP logged): I just completed the game. The music was excellent and I liked the graphics a lot. They were plain, but obvioulsy the author worked a lot on them. The idea and the story were very appealing and the things Dr. Lutz was saying made me giggle all the time! The puzzles were a lot of fun to solve and not at all far-fetched. I only got stuck once. Unfortunately what disappointed me was the ending: it was abrupt and it made the game look very short. I would prefer a little adventure during the dinosaurs era, since the charachter worked so hard to get there! (i.e. Dr. Lutz gets there only to find out that Dr. Gunnarson is already there, too). After all that very interesting and fun gameplay I was expecting a wittier and original ending. Apart from that I had a good time playing Dr. Lutz and the TTM!
