I’m in Retro Gamer issue 252 with a four-page deep dive into Josh Mandel’s unsung classic adventure, Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon. It’s a unique game, drawn from the world (or should that be universe?) created by sci-fi writer Spider Robinson: pick up a quest from the motley crew of regulars in Mike Callahan’s bar and leave New Jersey for outer space, Transylvania and the future, among other locales.
Laden with puns, pathos and pure adventure-gaming goodness, Josh’s only outing for Legend Entertainment following his departure from Sierra On-Line is absolutely worth searching out – it’s not on GOG.com or Steam, but you can run it fairly easily yourself via DOSBox.
