Retro365 | Future Wars: Adventures in Time - Interplay, 1990 - IBM PC (4K) - Part 1 @Retro365 | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
A playthrough of Delphine Software's Future Wars: Adventures in Time, published in the US in 1990 by Interplay.
Future Wars was the first of three games to use Delphine's proprietary Cinematique point-and-click interface and one of the first adventure games on the PC to feature 256-color VGA graphics.
The game was mainly the work of Paul Cuisset (story and programming) and Éric Chahi (graphics) and debuted in Europe in 1989 for the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga where it was published by Delphine Software International as Future Wars: Time Travellers (Les Voyageurs du Temps: La Menace in French.)
Delphine Software International was formed in 1988 as a part of the Delphine Group and was initially based in Paris. It was headed by Paul de Senneville, and co-directed by Paul Cuisset, who was the company lead designer.
Future Wars was supposed to be the first of a series of adventure games revolving around time traveling but later episodes never materialized. It was praised for its excellent graphics and great but somewhat tiring looping soundtrack. The story, to most extent, was excellent but the overall experience was somewhat let down by the clunky user interface and some tedious pixel-hunting.
