Amazon.com ReviewKeith and Barton know how to write a hints and solutions book. By offering a range of hints for each situation you face--from the faintest clue to dead giveaways--they let you choose just how much help you want. (Make sure you read the introductory section, "Using This Book.") Aside from the hints, the book features interesting information on the history ofthe Titanic, a discussion of some lingering mysteries of the disaster, and even a chapter on scientific theories of real-time travel--a fundamental aspect of the game.
REVIEW
Don't Give Upon the Game! Get This Book! I was so excited when I found this book! I was stuck at a point in the game "Titanic Adventure Out of Time," and I wanted to continue because the game is so much fun and so intriguing. When I received this book, I was surprised how far I had gotten without it (to the point where I had to find the notebook). The book gave me all the hints I needed to solve the game, and I didn't even need to look at the chapter "All Revealed". The book has the following chapters: characters, equipment, navigation, Fictional Walkthrough, Hints and Tips, History, World of If (a look at the possibility of time travel), Glossary of Nautical Terms, Hints and Tips-All Revealed, Puzzle Solutions, and appendixes. It also includes screen photos. It is not just a guide for solving a game, but a nice little historical and scientific study as well. My advice is to try the game without any help until you reach a point when you do not know what to do next and are just wandering around (sometimes talking with characters, especially Penny Pringle, can help you figure out your next move). Once you reach that point, consult the Hints and Tips chapter so you can move onto the next stage. Only consult the "All Revealed" chapter as a last resort (as I mentioned before, I didn't need that chapter to solve the game). Someone asked about the doll in Sasha's room. Here's just a hint, so if you don't want one, don't read on: the numbers on the small dials must add up to equal the number on the outside dial (12, 15, 4, 19). I figured it out by trial and error.
