Time Zone (1982)

Time Zone is a 1982 puzzle video game made by On-Line Systems.

Time Zone (1982) was Roberta Williams' wildly ambitious Hi-Res Adventure, spanning six double-sided floppy disks and sending the player across the whole of human history, from prehistoric eras to the far future, to stop an alien tyrant. Enormous and famously demanding, it pushed the early graphic adventure to its outer limits.
