Different laws may apply world wide. Ie: in Europe is not about the publication date, but author life-span (author’s works get in public domain 70 years it’s death: TinTin gets in PD in EU in the 2054)

      There are more. The most famous are a duology of side scrolling action adventure things in the 16 bit era. They adapted Tintin in Tibet and Prisoner of the Sun.

      They look great for the time, but frankly, they’re both a chore to play.

      Worth taking a look if you haven’t heard of them, though.

          Gasp. How dare you, my good sir/madam?

          No, seriously, I get it, but no. PoP, Flashback or Another World are way more playable. They look worse, though.

            I can’t comment on the comparison, as I didn’t play most of those, but I will comment on Sands of Time:

            The premise of the game is that the protagonist is recalling a story. He narrates your actions as you play, but you can fail. If you fail, you can die. If you die, the narrator says things like “and then I died. No, wait, that’s not right” and you can rewind time.

            I always thought that was pretty funny.
