Prior to this my only other experience with video games was perhaps in our elementary school's computer lab which was a bunch of Mac (not Windows) machines and I loved playing the Oregon Trail game and always wished we had more time to play it. But I had nothing to compare it to and this was still very cool at the time considering there was no alternative.

As this was my first computing experience I didn't know what to expect, other than I felt the fact that the demo/game wasn't even at full resolution (black borders) and our monitor was a 14" inch meant it felt a bit constricted in terms of visual display and the fact that I could only "walk" around with arrow keys and it was moving me in increments wasn't exactly the true life-like smooth virtual environment feel that I was hoping it would be. Of the small selection of titles I had at my disposal to peruse, I particularly liked the sci-fi appeal of Journeyman but as I was just 11 at the time and had stingy parent's I couldn't bug them to get me the full version.

Up until that point in time, the only real games I've been able to play on our families new Packard Bell PC was the set of disks and demos that came with the purchase of the computer itself, a dozen or so collection of CD-ROMs packed inside a little box, including Encarta 95 (Microsoft's encyclopedia), TuneLand, and a demo of The Journeyman Project: Turbo. I eagerly went home with it and couldn't wait to put it in to our families only computer at the time, a Packard Bell Pentium I (75 Mhz) computer that we had earlier that year bought at our local Best Buy electronics store for about $2,200. This was before James Cameron's Titanic film came out, but after I had already fallen in love with reading and re-borrowing Titanic: An Illustrated History from the same library for like the tenth time. I couldn't believe my luck nor my eyes that our local library which was still using MS-DOS computers for its book searching would have what by all appearances was a full on computer video game for patrons to loan.
One day at the library when in the multimedia section I came across this large boxed game by the title of Titanic: Adventure Out Of Time.
