Time Bandit Reviews

What a sad port. I was so glad to see it on Steam, then my heart sank when I saw how terrible of a port it was. The game runs too fast and crashes after every game. No reaction from the publisher who seems happy to sell a broken 1985 port. Wish Steam quality control took this out of the store or forced the company to make it work.

There's the speed problem, and the game crashes every time you have to save a score, but even without these bugs the game isn't very good. Back in the early 16/32 bit era we were dreaming of good games more than we could play actual good games. The thrill was more about computer hardware and having a kickass computer at home. There could be some good ideas to take from this game if someone wants to make a roguelike, but just don't buy it. Emulatable games should be emulated only.

Game is way too fast for the original release. barebones cashgrab, and it crashes at the high score screen. Do better. Just emulate it instead.

Game play is too fast. This makes the game unplayable. Too bad because this game was a lot of fun back in the day. I do not recommend this game

The emulator seems to be configured badly - the game runs too fast (might be emulating an overly high-spec Amiga?). Sadly the menus do not include any options to rectify this. Also, the return key is mapped to 1 by default which is pretty useless on the text-adventure parts (this is fixable in the options menu - remove the binding for "start 1 player game" from the keyboard controls) Finally, it crashes (fails to write a file) when you enter a highscore and you have to restart the application. Oh, and it also crashes in the same way if you try to use the game's built-in save system.

Game speed is much higher than the original ST release, making enemies all but impossible. Developer isn't answering discussion threads to provide support. Not recommended.
