This looks like it may have been the Granddaddy of the Adventure Games by Sierra-on-line ..

LOST IN TIME I was out yard saleing in Muskoka this summer in a rented car with an old girlfriend - looking to impress her I stopped at this absolute JUNK STORE by the side of Highway 11 and we browsed

low and behold I found a real treasure in a crate of old bottles.

The guy said to me give me ten bucks and you can have the whole crate... And I said no. because neither the crate nor the bottles are worth anything - Just the game, and he said 'take it' its yours and I thought how silly of him as I would have paid five bucks for the game... anyway its a game called Lost in Time - before you were born he was plotting your doom...

And it has really old crummy graphics on the front of a cute girl and a portal behind her containing all manner of male villains.. the screen captures on the back are absolutely primitive!

I mean it looks like Commodore Basic on the back – and I have everything, all twelve 3.5 inch disk, a boot and faq manual and game sheets.

Does anyone on here remember this game? Wha's it like and how much money do you think its worth today?

Lucky you! I have that game, in fact I recently brought it back from my storage unit and stuck it in my older PC which has Windows ME and DOS, and played it for a while. I was just searching for a newer version; I guess we'll be stuck with DOS version.... I started with the ship, and finally figured out what to do to get out of the first room.... before I put it away and forgot about it for a while.
