Time Riders in American History Overview
The central premise involves correcting a falsified historical record, where a villain claims key American achievements from 1492 to 1905 as his family's work. Players operate from an underground laboratory called Sea Cliff Manor, working with a team to investigate these altered events.
Gameplay revolves around gathering clues by moving between specific stations within the manor. These include consulting a timeline machine, a geographical device, and reviewing projected interviews obtained through time travel. The objective is to identify the correct person, place, and time for each historical incident.
The title is structurally similar to an enhanced version of Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?. It features a high level of in-game assistance, detailed cut-scenes, and numerous hidden extras. The production values are described as lavish.
