Sorry for the delay, due to a bug in the program and some mistyping :? .
HERE's the fourth game: even worse and more frustrating than the others... Now I know why the book was called Time Lost :P .

The LAST one.

As a final note, I'd say the overall quality of the games is poor, and I won't be playing them more than once, although it's good they're all linked together by a story. The look and feel of all the games is pretty similar, and IMHO they're frustratingly difficult, but without the plus of a good gameplay.

@robinsonmason - It would be great if you could post all the JPG scans of the whole thing somewhere, so that I could grab them and do a (not too big) PDF file of the book for preservation purposes. :wink:

Orion, thanks for all of the effort -- I will scan everything, put it into a single PDF, and include all of the programs in a MediaFire folder with a link here.

Too bad the games were poor, but I still am happy to see something from so long ago all restored and complete! :D

I think the basic concept of the book is wonderful, even if the games are not as fun to you guys. Thanks! This is fun.
