Anyone else feel like we have our own little cult?


I remember my dad buying me this game the year it was released. I was ten or eleven years old, and I could not keep my hands off anything relevant to the Titanic. The game was pretty expensive ($50), and I took it home and toured the ship for hours. The next day, I finally began the game that basically defined me as a child. I can't even tell you how many times I played it. Sometimes two or three times a night (all the way through!) My parents were divorced, and I had no license of course, so I was usually stuck at my dad's playing it over and over again. I memorized large portions of dialogue and got to the point where I could finish the game in 20 minutes.

Anyway, I came to this board and was surprised to see how many fans there are of the game. It seems like such a cult classic, and many people only bought the game because of all the hype surrounding the movie, which came out the following year.

Anyway, I'd be glad to share any thoughts I have about the game, the ship, or any maritime disaster for that matter. I always enjoy talking to a shipwreck buff (which I hardly ever run into), and would like to hear what you have to say, too!

Don't you wish that they would make another game based on the Titanic? Maybe in a different scenario. Maybe you were a third class passenger and you had to save someone kidnapped on the ship or something without being discovered. The game could use the same music and graphics (or maybe some updated stuff), but you had to complete objectives to fit in with the first-class crowd. You could play it throughout the entire voyage and you could run into some of the same characters from the first game. I WOULD LOBE THAT! I want them to make another.

oh man I didn't think anyone else really played this game, I remember spending years playing it, I wasn't very good, and I played it a couple times through, on top of the fact I was about 7 or 8 when I used to play it. I was also pretty obsessed with it, and anything Titanic at the time, I think the movie helped too. This game also used to really creep me out, the way the ship was so empty, and the music, and certain scenes.

Now I want to go find my copy, it's hidden somewhere, but I doubt it works because it's for Mac, and I switched to PC sometime in 2000.

It's cool to see there are other hardcore fans of it out there. They really should re-release this game. The new systems don't support the game. It also might be neat to have different shipwrecks for the setting. Like the Andrea Doria or Estonia - might be interesting.

I love this game too! I did not think that anyone else had even heard of it.

Does anyone know if there is a soundtrack, or where I can find the music? The music was composed by Scott Scheinbaum and Erik Holt, and you can find some clips here:

Or as Wikipedia tells it...

"The music of Titanic: Adventure Out of Time is one of the game's central features. Throughout the story, Chopin's Preludes Op. 28 No. 7 provides a haunting ambiance to the game. Some other tracks used throughout the game (as well as the intro) were written by Scott Scheinbaum and Erik Holt. They are currently available on the website of Cyberflix's successor."

So... Does anyone know who Cyberflix's successor is?

Wait, nevermind, the website I posted IS cyberflix's successor. But all of the tracks are not there. =(

reply

Yeah I want the track that plays in the hallways.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the film but I still recall liking Adventure Out of Time quite a bit(probably because this was the first game our family bought for the PC back in the mid 90s). After this, we moved on to King's Quest, Warcraft/Starcraft, old school GTA games(the ones with the top-down view), Duke Nukem, Half Life, etc.

This is probably the best game I've ever played. There's so much high tech crap out right now that people worship, like the Call of Duty games. But none of those draw you in like Titanic did. This game was addictive and it actually made you think.

I wish they still made hames like this.

reply

Best game ever. I played this game endlessly.

I wasn't too fond of the eerie music that played when strolling down some of those dark corridors though. Had to turn the volume down. That was the only minor con for me.
