Wasn't Daikatana a time-travel game?

Or did you only mean non-awful games?

I used to love Millennia:Altered Destinies - you wander back and forth in time in a space/time ship, making decisions for a few alien races to guide them to maturity so that they invent upgrades for your ship , ultimately to repel invaders from another galaxy. It's an old DOS game, but the most directly you-controlling-time-travel game I've ever seen.

That would be one hell of a game! Just update the graphics a bit, add in a more robust AI, and you've almost got a David Weber novel!

Mission Critical was a fantastic adventure game. If you like hard sci-fi, I highly recommend finding an old copy and loading it up in Virtual PC.

I don't know if this would actually be considered "Time Travel" but in the game Star Ocean: The Second Story you go from an extremely advanced civilization to a fantasy/swords and sorcery world and back again. It's one of my all time favorite games and it's leagues above other games with it's monstrously HUGE amount of things to do. From item creation to cooking to blacksmithing to art to infinity and beyond. It's a hard game to come by for a decent price, but god is it worth it! I remember getting past disc 1 just once and I think I sold it or gave it to someone :( Now I've just given myself a huge craving to play the game...

Eternal Darkness (GameCube) sort of is, not really though. It takes place in different times but you're not actually traveling through time, you're controlling characters who lived in different time periods. Cool game though, worth playing.

I wish they'd remake the Journeyman Project games or a proper sequel. They were some awesome games.

Mission Critical is one of my favorite adventure games ever. The best way to play it is in Dosbox though, in which it works perfectly. Virtual PC often has timing and skipping glitches with OPL music in DOS games.
