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)

      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.
