The Games
Lords of Time
Father Time sends the player to different time zones to secure nine treasures that help to fight the evil Lords of Time.
Red Moon
Red Moon Crystal, a powerful source of Magik, has been stolen and must be recovered to save the country of Baskalos from destruction.[1] The game won the award for best adventure game of the year in Crash magazine,[2] and the game was voted best adventure game of the year at the Golden Joystick Awards.[3]
The Price of Magik
Sequel to the previous game; Myglar the Magician, guardian of the Crystal, has become insane and is draining its energy for his own use; he must be defeated before it is exhausted.
