Callahan's Crosstime Saloon is a puzzle-solving adventure game based on Spider Robinson's series of stories about the unusual patrons of Callahan's bar. The characters in the game are taken from the first book of the series, though their stories are original. The game's world is composed of still screens viewed from first-person perspective. The interaction is point-and-click, with context menus appearing when the player attempts to interact with an object on screen.

An under appreciated classic and Josh Mandel's best adventure game. There could not possibly be more puns inserted into a game
The mountains of goofy and expository flavor text on every little speck or item or character in the game and the mostly pointless, but endlessly entertaining dialogue trees goes a long way inviting a habitual, laid-back sense of play that invokes the pleasures of hanging out in the way the wanderlust nature of the best western adventure games do best.
