Nov 11, 2018. Having just experienced the thrill of Riven a short while back, I looked forward with considerable interest to playing Journeyman 3: Legacy of Time, which unlike the earlier installments is released by the same publisher Red Orb.

The Journeyman Project is a series of award-winning first-personscience fictionadventure games, created by Presto Studios and released by various publishers, including Bandai, Sanctuary Woods, and Red Orb Entertainment.
Plot[edit]
The central story is set centuries in the future, where after horrific nuclear wars humanity united to create a peaceful global society. Due to the establishment of a utopian society, humanity has been invited to join an alien organization known as the Symbiotry of Peaceful Beings.
In the twenty-fourth century, time travel is realized by the Journeyman Project, the secret program to construct Pegasus, the world's first time machine. After a brief test period proves time travel is possible, the Journeyman Project is deactivated and the Pegasus device is put under the secret watch of the Temporal Security Agency or TSA for short (also the acronym of its base of operations, the Temporal Security Annex). The TSA exists to prevent temporal rips in the space/time continuum, by which changes in the past can alter the present. The player controls a character named Gage Blackwood, Agent 5 of the Temporal Security Agency. The games revolve around Agent 5's exploits throughout time to save Earth in the present.

The Journeyman Project[edit]
In 1993, The Journeyman Project was one of the first PC games to use high quality rendered graphics. However, it suffered from performance problems and slow animations due to its early reliance on Macromedia Director. These problems were mostly overcome with the version 2.0 release that was retitled The Journeyman Project Turbo! and published by Sanctuary Woods in 1994.
The story begins with an alien ambassador arriving to finalize Earth's admission into the Symbiotry of Peaceful Beings. However, when Agent 5 is on duty a temporal rip is detected, and Earth's history is changed. The result of the new timestream is that humanity is passed over for admission into the alien organization.
The Journeyman Project: Pegasus Prime[edit]
This complete remake of the original Journeyman Project was published by Bandai in 1997 with some of the actors from The Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time. Originally announced as a 'Director's Cut', Pegasus Prime featured enhanced graphics, sounds, movies, and puzzles. It was released solely for the Power Macintosh by Bandai Digital Entertainment in North America, although it was also developed for the Apple Pippin and PlayStation in Japan. 3DO and Sega Saturn versions were also mentioned in the original product announcement, but are presumed to have been canceled.
In December 2013, the game was released on DVD-ROM for Mac OS X.[1] Windows and Linux versions were made available in March 2014.[2]
On April 10, 2014, the game was released for digital download on GOG.com.[3]
On February 19, 2015, the game was Greenlit on Steam[4] and released for digital download on February 20, 2017.[5]
The Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time[edit]
Published in 1995 by Sanctuary Woods, Buried in Time was a complete shift in direction for the series, moving away from futuristic environments and instead preferring to go to real-life historical locations. The game also featured a completely redesigned interface and contained many more live-action scenes than the first game.
The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time[edit]
Published in 1998 by Red Orb Entertainment, the final installment uses a unique 360 degree interaction system without resorting to 3D effects. It featured impressive production values with the actors and costumes. One of the first games to be developed for the DVD-ROM medium, the enhanced DVD edition featured twice the resolution of the CD-ROM version.
In 1999, Red Orb Entertainment collected the Windows versions of The Journeyman Project Turbo!, Buried in Time, and Legacy of Time into an 8-disc trilogybox set.
The Journeyman Project 4: Resurrection[edit]
According to IGN in late 1998, 'Mindscape confirmed that the rights of The Journeyman Project #4 have been returned to the series' developer, Presto Studios', as a result of financial problems at Red Orb Entertainment.[6] With the closure of Presto Studios in November 2002, there are no plans for more Journeyman Project games to be produced. However, a fourth game design document has been mostly written.[7][8] The game was originally projected for an October 2000 release and the story 'illustrated one of the potentially dangerous outcomes of time travel technology', but the project was eventually put on hold to concentrate on Myst III: Exile.

Development[edit]
The Journeyman Project 3 was developed by a team of 25 people.[2]
The live action characters were all cast from the Screen Actors Guild.[3] Nearly a month was spent on rehearsing and filming the live action footage and voice acting.[3]
Release[edit]
Unlike the other games of the Journeyman Project franchise (which were previously published by Sanctuary Woods), Legacy of Time was published by Red Orb Entertainment in 1998.
The game was released on February 12, 1998 at an estimated price of $49.[4]
Demo[edit]
In October 1997, the Legacy of Time Demo for Mac and Windows was released with Riven, also published by Red Orb Entertainment. It featured the Potter and Olive Oil Vendor's shop in Atlantis, with the objective to create a Golden Medallion which will help the player enter an Atlantean temple in the full game. Once the objective is reached the demo ends. The trailer is also included and states the game would be released in December 1997, the game however was not released until February 1998.
Versions[edit]
In February 1998, Legacy of Time shipped on four CD-ROMs for both Mac and Windows, but later was released on one DVD-ROM which had separate Mac and Windows versions. The Macintosh DVD version released in May 1998, being one of the first DVD-ROM games for the Mac platform (in fact, it was bundled with Macintosh PowerBooks that had a DVD drive, the disc could be seen during the introduction of the PowerBook G3 Wallstreet).[5] The Mac version used the same graphics as the CD-ROM version due to the enhanced graphics intended for the DVD version being not ready in time. Later that year on September 2,[6] the Windows DVD version was released and included the Enhanced Graphics and Movies, as well as MPEG-2 trailers of both Legacy of Time and Riven. Solutions exist to run this version on Mac OS. The Journeyman Project Trilogy Package included the original CD-ROM version. While only the Windows versions of the other two games are included, Legacy of Time included the Mac version.
A Mac OS X version was announced on The Journeyman Project Blog. The project began in secret in February 2008 and was headed by Michel Kripalani, Tommy Yune, and Roland Gustafsson of Presto Studios who were involved in the original development of the game.[7] It was originally planned for release in January 2009, but delayed due to a bug in QuickTime 7.6 which caused cosmetic issues. The bug was fixed in QuickTime 7.6.2. On October 30, it was announced the Mac OS X version would begin shipping in the first week of November. The application is PowerPC only and thus works up to OS X 10.6.
A digital version was released at GOG.com on March 20, 2012.[8]
Reception[edit]
By July 1998, Legacy of Time had sold 52,269 copies and earned $2,178,771 in the United States,[17] following its release in February.[4] It was developed on a budget of $1.8 million.[18]
