Titanic: Adventure Out of Time (1996 Video Game)
One of the greatest CPU games of all time

This game is truly fantastic. I don't really buy or play computer games anymore. But every once in a while, I'll pull this game out of the closet and play it all over again for kicks. The graphics are incredible and the story was very well written. I love being able to walk around the Titanic and talk to all the different characters. You also really get a feel to how things were in 1912. After playing this game, if you watch James Cameron's movie, you'll pretty much always be able to tell where they are on the ship. The variety of characters that were made for this game are amazing. You got the stuck up, stingy Charles Lambreth and his wife Georgia (of which the character you play has a history with). There's the down to earth guy you'd probably find at a bar in Max Zidelman (looks like a young John Goodman). I have to admit that Vlad gives me the creeps. The plot of the game involves some thinking, but not too crazy.

There is only one thing about this game that I found a disappointment to me, and it's a very minor one. While I like the different endings, they deal entirely on the aftermath as the result of your mission and finding all the different objects. But nothing is mentioned of what happened on the personal side. For instance, as the ship is sinking, one decision your character encounters is whether or not to save the life of Lady Georgia by trading a painting to the evil German Zitel for the antidote of which she's been poisoned. But whether or not you save Georgia's life, absolutely nothing about it is mentioned in the ending. Other than that, this game is perfect.
