Battles in Time was a PC video game and was the only product co-developed by Quantum Quality Productions and American Laser Games. The game was a time travel-based strategy game.
In the far future, humans no longer needed war. When aliens decide to invade the planet, a test is made up to provide commanders for the army. Four time periods are used: 2025, World War II, the Roman Empire, and prehistoric times. Succeeding in these four missions will allow the human to take on the alien threat.
Famous quotes containing the words battles and/or time:
“So, when my days of impotence approach,
And I’m by pox and wine’s unlucky chance
Forced from the pleasing billows of debauch
On the dull shore of lazy temperance,
My pains at least some respite shall afford
While I behold the battles you maintain
When fleets of glasses sail about the board,
From whose broadsides volleys of wit shall rain.”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
“We’re headed for collapse, if you want my opinion, Missy. I can see it in the fallin’ off of the quality of vagrants. There was a time you could find real good company in almost any jungle you’d pick, men who could talk, men who’d read a book now and then; and now, what do you find, a lot of dirty little guttersnipes no decent tramp would want to associate with.
Well, it’s been that way all through history.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
