Creators of THE LABYRINTH OF TIME
Bradley W. Schenck has done a variety of interesting types of work including musical instrument construction, painting and illustration, and building nuclear power plants. Designing computer games is more profitable than the first or second and less dangerous than the third, so he figures he’ll stick with it. He believes that the world is a practical joke, that cars should have running boards, and that men should wear hats.
Hidden away in mole-like surroundings with the shades closed and lights off in Southern California, Michal Todorovic’s whitewashed tan is a result of banks of glowing computer monitors. Despite this, he’s somehow managed to write business, entertainment and animation software for various computers; his background in writing spreadsheet and database software was almost useful in his move to develop games. He likes his cars fast, his chairs comfortable, and his women on skis.

YOUR OBJECTIVES

WAIT! IF YOU WANT TO EXPLORE AND DISCOVER THE SECRET OF THE LABYRINTH ON YOUR OWN, DON’T READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION! WHAT FOLLOWS IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE GOALS IN THE LABYRINTH OF TIME.
OVERALL OBJECTIVE: SAVE THE WORLD BY DESTROYING
THE LABYRINTH
Explore the labyrinth. Examine objects carefully, read any books or inscriptions for clues to solving puzzles.
Solve any puzzles. The puzzles are intertwined by folds in time created by Daedalus during the building of the labyrinth. Sometimes one puzzle may be solved only if you move something or pick up an object in another time or place.
Collect portable objects. There are many items in the labyrinth, but only a few are portable. Try to take the things you come across for use in other places around the labyrinth.
Destroy the labyrinth. Find the item which holds the entire labyrinth together. Destroy the object and the labyrinth will rip apart at the seams, keeping true history intact and preserving Earth as we know it.
