So what if there’s no Leonardo DeCaprio or Kate Winslett on board? No problem! Put the movie soundtrack on your stereo and settle back to the warblings of Celine Dion as you relive the sinking of the most famous shipwreck in history.

Titanic: Adventure Out of Time is actually one of the best-selling adventure games of all time thanks to an opportune reissue of the game during the height of the movie’s popularity. In fact, Titanic has easily sold several hundred thousand copies, reaching a sales figure that many new games would love to aspire to – and may well be the second best-selling adventure game of all time after, of course, Myst.

This story begins in 1942 during the height of World War II. As the Blitzkrieg rages outside your room, a violent catalyst hurtles you back thirty years to a time when you were a Secret Service Agent aboard the RMS Titanic. Your success or failure to recover a stolen book could determine the future of the world. Over 25 interactive characters and a historically accurate digital reconstruction of the Titanic with photorealistic graphics immerse you in the story with an unprecedented realism.

Plus a guided tour option lets you learn about the famed ship from interactive tour guides. Maybe if you look hard enough, you’ll find a car with an empty back seat in the hold of the ship. Ship ahoy!
