Titanic: Adventure Out of Time - Ship's Tour

Ship's Tour

In addition the game, the CD-ROM also includes a separate exploration feature which features characters in the game discussing various aspects of the ship, its crew, and the sinking. These characters would be placed at locations around the ship. Three character narrations were included with the game, while others could be downloaded from the game's website (a later release of the game includes a bonus CD-ROM with these download-able narrations). They were later available for download on the website of Cyberflix's successor Barracuda, and are now available at Titanic-Titanic.com.

The computer graphics of the ship have been used in several documentaries about the Titanic, due to their authenticity. However, on a ship with a complement of around 2,200, the game portrays the Titanic as almost deserted. Although, the game takes place the night before the sinking, which was very late Sunday evening, when "there won't be many people out", as Smethells points out at the beginning of the game. In addition of the main characters, there are only a few sparse "wallpaper" characters who appear as unmoving and unheard figures in the major areas of the ship.

    Small pity for him!—He sailed away
    From a leaking ship in Chaleur Bay,—
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    Left Washington, September 6, on a tour through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia.... Absent nineteen days. Received every where heartily. The country is again one and united! I am very happy to be able to feel that the course taken has turned out so well.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
