Titanic: Adventure Out of Time - Other Facts

Other Facts

• The playable character, Frank Carlson, was the name of a real-life ticket-holder of the Titanic. However, on his way to the dock in Cherbourg, France, his car broke down and he never actually received the chance to board the liner. His name remained on the passenger list.
• There was a real jewel-encrusted copy of the The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám on the Titanic. It was won at an auction and was being shipped to New York. The book remains lost at the bottom of the Atlantic to this day.
• Some earlier versions of the game allow for the recovery of required game items out of order, thus shifting the sequence of events to unforeseen endings. It is possible, for instance, to obtain the rare painting from the ship's hold before it is even discussed or mentioned by the game characters. Another rare occurrence occurs if using the game's "teleport" function to move between rooms, at one point by-passing a puzzle involving a set of diamonds and thus possessing a fake diamond set, and the real diamonds, at the same time (something not intended to happen during normal gameplay).
• In the German version of the game, Adolf Hitler is not mentioned as any references to Nazism would conflict with Germany's censorship laws.
