Nomad of Time
_Nomad Of Time_ is a single player real-time text adventure with graphics
that is based on Michael Moorcock’s trilogy of the same name.
The game is set in a steam punk world of the future. The player takes the role
of British officer Oswald Bastable and is in command of the airship H.M.S.
Shards. There are two areas to this game, one is in the airship which must be
flown to different parts of the world to locate temporal ports, the other is
exploring the different locations.The game is played in ‘real time’, that is
to say there is an in-game clock that must be monitored as the air ship has
only sufficient supplies for sixty days and the game must be completed within
that amount of game time.
The game is entirely keyboard controlled and has a text parser that accepts
two word instructions. While in flight the airship is steered with the
left/right function keys.
