Welcome to Time Travel Play

READY.

Welcome to Time Travel Play, my corner of the internet for the computers I grew up with. Everything here is made by hand: I play the games, type in the programs and record the videos myself, on the real software, the way it was in the 80s.

What you'll find here

Games. Complete walkthroughs of classic DOS adventures, starting with Sierra's Leisure Suit Larry series. Every point, every death, every secret, with screenshots from my own playthroughs. Leisure Suit Larry 1 and Leisure Suit Larry 2 are complete, all the way to the maximum score. Larry 2 even has interactive maps and a little mini game.

Programs. Original type-in BASIC listings for the Commodore 64, the kind you used to copy line by line out of a magazine, and hope you didn't make a typo on line 340. The ZX Spectrum and the Amstrad CPC are next, and one day the journey ends on the PC: DOS and the 8088.

Videos. Every walkthrough has a full no-commentary playthrough on the YouTube channel, with the deaths cut out (mostly).

Shop. Coming soon: mugs and T-shirts for people who still remember typing LOAD. Original pixel-art designs, made to order.
