I found this amazing trilogy for free at a swap shop! The Legacy Of Time was my favorite game as a kid! I never played the others, but now is my chance.

    FINALLY! SOMEBODY ELSE!

    I FINALLY FOUND SOMEBODY ELSE WHO REMEMBERS AND CELEBRATES THE JOURNEYMAN PROJECT TRILOGY!

    I’m sorry, I’m just…I’m very happy for this moment.

    Legacy of Time was far and away my favorite, but the entire collection is a fun and satisfying playthrough. Great atmosphere, clever puzzles, and loads of 90s PC gaming cheese and charm.

    Long live Gage Blackwood.

      And Arthur! Man Arthur was such a fun companion. Witty, funny and was also helpful in guiding you into harder puzzles without just giving you the answer!

      There’s a lovely series called Mysty. Part of a YouTube channel that I originally found because the guy is stumbling through creating his own 3D graphics engine.

      In Mysty he plays a lot of the old Myst-like games, many I’d never heard of. It’s funny and worth checking out. He has played the first two Journeyman games so far. https://youtube.com/@notthefuture1881

      You are not alone. Legacy of Time was one of my favorite games growing up. Unfortunately I never got to play the rest

    My grandmother had the “turbo” version of #2 for some reason. It’s the only one I’ve ever played, but I loved it. The actual gameplay wasn’t great, but the graphics, sounds, and story all blew me away at that time. It was so futuristic and cool.

    I was there weird kid in high school that had a Mac but still liked playing computer games. My band teacher lent me his copy. It was the first point and click adventure game I actually finished!

      I loved point and click games! I definitely was that weird kid too lol

      I’m from France and this gave was only in English (a family friend from San Francisco gave it to me) and I decided to finish it with a friend of mine that spoke English. We had a dictionary and looked up every word we didn’t understand. This game helped me learn English and now I live in New York!

      My list of favorite point and clicks were:

      • Atlantis (all 3 games) by Cryo (a French game studio)
      • Versailles also by Cryo,
      • basically all Cryo interactive games
      • Amerzona
      • Myst/Raven (but I didn’t play it as much, I liked the story driven ones and Myst was too much of a puzzle with no story for me)

    Wow, one of my childhood friends and I were just talking about our favorite old games and Journey Project was on that short list.

    I don’t know anything about this game/series, but that looks like such a cool bundle. If I found that as a kid, I would be hyped as hell to play it. Can just imagine unfolding that packaging with all the discs would feel like opening a treasure chest.

      Believe me I kinda had that feeling when I found it just sitting there in the swap shop (swap shop is a small shack at the dump where people put things they don’t want but still works. There are a lot of dishes, silverware, tools, moldy books, old toys, some old electronics, and sometimes retro games. I found a Wii classic controller and a GameGear there before and now this!)

      Also I highly recommend playing the #3 Legacy of time (you can find it on Internet archive). It’s still awesome!

    I remember always seeing these games in the store, and advertised in magazines. I need to seek these out.

    I only ever played the first one! My dad picked up the CD somewhere while working on a busted computer, I think? I replayed it like 12 times because I thought it was so interesting as a kid.

    I only played Project Turbo, and certainly never finished it, but it was incredible for its time. I still picture that hotel now and then. I need to find the soundtrack in all it’s glorious vaporwave goodness.
