Time Bandit

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.

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 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

You need to get used to the dynamics of movement and the key to the passage has been found. People are not used to difficulties, although for games of the 80s difficulties are synonymous, here we can say about arcade games. There is no hardcore here. This is a beautifully drawn, diverse world for its time, which is simply interesting to explore and go through. "Pixel Games UK", this is not your first game that remains in my library. But here I will sincerely thank you for these masterpieces. Thanks! My golden 80s, you won't be better for me! ❤️‍🔥

I have to agree with the other reviewers here. This emulation is clearly broken as the play speed is too fast to reasonably play and the game crashes when it gets to its high score screen and finds there is no virtual disk to save to. The emulator settings cannot be modified to correct any of this due to the way the project was built with the Steam wrapper. So you're stuck with an unusable product.

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.

- Can't exit high score table - Game runs too fast compared to original - Devs. aren't fixing even these most trivial bugs Avoid like the plague.

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.

Great trip down memory lane for 5 bucks. But very hard to play with a keyboard vs a joystick. The enemies move a bit too fast for beginner levels. Really needs an invincible cheat. Nuts how fast pasted this game was for 1985. Also can't get back to menu when you die, have to quit and restart which only takes a few seconds but annoying none the less.

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.
