The Journeyman Project 1: Pegasus Prime

This was a gem from my childhood, though I'm not entirely convinced it's held up so amazingly after all these years. While the setting, music and ambiance of the game are quite compelling, I felt some of the puzzles were disappointing. Some are purely chance/trial-and-error based and it just feels uninspired. Don't be surprised if you find yourself using hints or having to look up a solution or two, because some answers can be pretty vague. However, Pegasus Prime fills its niche in the Adventure genre quite snugly and is definitely worth at least one play-through, especially for nostalgic reasons!

I know, I know. this game was going to be the masterpiece we always wanted. and graphically it is. the story is still captivating but I miss the interface and controls from the original. instead of the graphic pull tab for biochips now there's a panel you pull up with the backspace key?!? and to get to your inventory it's the (`) key no more can you just scroll up and down through the items. this may sound unfair because the work put into this was truly amazing, it's a beautiful game. it is. but the original format felt more like you were using your occular implant. Yet even with that one flaw I am glad to have played the game will probably continue playing it as I did the original and then later turbo.

I had the Journeyman Project Trilogy when I was a kid, and as much as I loved the series, I always hated playing through the first one because the controls were so terrible and it was so outdated. This version fixes all of that and more. I've known about Pegasus Prime for a while, but was never able to play it. It adds in characters from the second and third games, improves the graphics and adds some new puzzles. Very good version of an already great game!

I was in middle school in 1994 when I first saw the trailer for Pegasus Prime. By the time I grew up and had some money, the game was discontinued and crazy expensive on eBay. It took 20 years to finally get it here through GOG, but it has definitely lived up to my childhood expectations. This is a reboot of the original Journeyman Project Turbo, which was an amazing time travel adventure that was packaged with our Packard Bell computer (66 mhz CPU woot! woot!). I finished Pegasus Prime in just under 6 hours, due to having to replay certain segments multiple times. It's mildly frustrating the changes they made with these "mini-games" that in the Turbo version were just cinematic movies you watched. Now you have to hit Left or Right in order to prevent yourself from crashing in scenes like a space ship chase or submarine navigating underwater. The scenes themselves are epic, BUT if you forgot an item from another timezone, and have to come back to this timezone, you start back at the beginning each time, and have to replay the entire level again to get back to where you were. If you know what you're doing, this game would only take about 3-4 hours to beat if you took your time with it. Beyond that, the story is solid, the environments are amazing, and the main "villain" should be honored as one of the most memorable in gaming history just because of how compelling he was as an actor. I want to thank Presto Studios and GOG for allowing us to play this game on modern systems. You've given me a bit of my childhood back, and that is priceless.
