At least one star of this rating is bias. Time Lord is an esoteric, frustrating piece of work with an isometric perspective that will fuck you over. It's a game for insane people who are willing to use rewinds, turbo buttons, and the game's own flaws to conquer its absurd intracacies, from the orb hidden behind a building in the Wild West, to its corresponding stereotypical Mexican boss with eternally-regenerating health (Peruvians and/or Puerto Ricans do this, too), and the orb you have to ring a bell a few times for.

I had a brief moment in freshman year trying to pick this game apart, looking at video guides and trying out the weird-ass techniques for myself, much as I did for Rare's Battletoads. Unfortunately, that is one of many fond memories I can't separate from this game, dodgy as it is. If nothing else, I will be the only one awaiting Hasbro (yes, they own the rights - not Rare, hence its exclusion from Rare Replay) to suddenly do a revival of this property. include a buff cavewoman in there next time
