It has multiple endings.
But the ship always sinks in the end.


I remember the game as having several timed sequences. The end of the game, where the ship has started sinking, is one big long timed sequence.

It's a fairly difficult game. But the story is better than in many newer games. And the different endings you can get and the reasons you get them add complexity to the plot.

It's also interesting to see the insides of the ship and what the various cabins looked like.

It is surprisingly immersive, with some lovely period recreations. If you are interested in the Titanics history and passenger stories you'll love it. Glug, glug, glug.

Except for the character animation, where it shows its age, the game is in every way a classic. Good trade!

Great mystery game. The ship is authentic and it has a jump map to get to different areas instead of walking the ship. As I recall, it's very linear. Wonderful music! A must play. wink

Titanic was my very first adventure game! My brother gave it to me when he gave up on it. Who knew it would start me down the path to BAAGS? wink

I love this game, and as far as I remember (I replayed it several times), the only timed sequence came at the very end, when, as Jenny said, it is one big long timed sequence. And there are a few slightly different endings, but only one good one! well, good, except for the fact that the ship still sinks, of course. wink

Hi everyone, Can one still obtain it from a dealer or does one have to search?

My problem will be if it will install on Windows XP.

I've seen every film version - think I would get absorbed in the game.

Happy holidays

This is one of the best games I have ever played.

I particularly enjoyed walking around the ship, up and down the corridors and entering new areas when certain actions had been completed. I thought the radio room was very interesting.

A truly excellent choice wink

Enjoy it to the full

You could start HERE . Titanic supposedly runs on XP with no problem.

This game is very replayable because there are 8 possible outcomes, depending upon who gets off the ship with which of the important objects. It also has some very funny characters and excellent recreations of the ship's interior. I enjoyed playing it very much and recommend it highly.
