epic!

:d

Ultima 2 had time travel, didn't it? :awe:

yeah it did also.

Achron (no link, sorry am at work) is an upcoming indie RTS (sort of real time actually) that allows players to send units back in time to influence events in the skirmishes. It costs energy to send units back, and the changes they make ripple through the timeline, they are not instantaneous. All in all, looks freaking awesome.

if you guys wanna think about it too..

Assasins Creed series is also time travel.

Technically all of the Ultima series had time travel, given that the linearity of time in Earth versus Britania were different (Ultima 7, Lord British is like 200 years old while the Avatar is youthful from being on Earth).

not really. he's re-living memories of a past life or something like that.

yeah.

Plus, there's no going back-and-forth to fuck up shit/fix shit...whatever kind of mechanics one would expect in time travel.

I know that Poptropica has time travel, where you need to fix all the different times.

Where in time is Carmen San Diego obviously was a time travel game as well.

Adventure game, but was fun nonetheless.

Not exactly time travel...but parallel worlds, etc.

I just beat singularity and it was pretty awesome. Ending was a bit weak, but the journey was a lot of fun. Some really cool levels and also some pretty cheesy stuff due to time travel paradoxes, etc.

Time Shift.
It's more about time manipulation than time travel... But it's a great FPS.

Classic, I come into this thread to post this and have to scan to the end to find it recommended. Not saying it's the greatest game, but a pretty fun shooter on rails. One of those games that sat too long in development, if it hadn't been delayed for years it probably would have gotten a much better reception.

I just now remembered playing a really fun card game where you and the other players attempt to change history in certain ways. It's called Chrononauts.

There's a PC version here.

But otherwise, Chrono Trigger involves time travel and is the best JRPG ever.
