Thread: Time Gentlemen Adventure Game

You may remember Ben and Dan from their last adventure, Ben There, Dan That. If you don't, we'd recommend downloading and playing that freeware nugget before dipping your toes into this follow-up. Time Gentlemen Please carries on roughly where the prequel left off, with the discovery that the future selves of programmers Ben and Dan are the architects of the world's destruction.



It's another comedy point-and-click adventure, this time with an even more improbable plot involving time travel, the invention of coathangers, Hitler and an army of dinosaur clones. It's weird, odd, strange, occasionally tasteless and relentlessly amusing.

The script is positively peppered with chuckle-inducing lines. As with the previous game, there are tons of geeky and programming related gags, sci-fi references and quips about the plot of this sequel making absolutely no sense whatsoever.

It's seriously polished in the humour stakes, and what shines through is the effort put into covering every single possible combination or action. If you try to combine random objects, you won't just get a simple "That won't work": instead the main characters will produce some sort of wisecrack about why you would possibly want to use a spanner on a camel.
