80 Days

I completed my first circumnavigation of the Earth in just over 80 Days' time limit, but only barely. If we hadn’t taken a boat headed for Hawaii, if I didn’t gamble with the ship's engines by pushing them to the brink of explosion, perhaps I could have made it. I eagerly started again immediately, with a whole new set of text-based adventure decisions -- Fogg’s enthusiasm, and 80 Days’ absence of punishment or actual sense of failure, had me excited to do it all over again. I had a spectacular, unforgettable adventure story to show for my three-hour adventure, and couldn’t wait to learn more ...

Another criticism of mine is that it takes roughly 2 and half hours to complete a run around the globe. It’s quite a lengthy amount of time for something that may simply fall apart one city away from the finish line. Even when you are three quarters around the world it is very hard to ascertain whether you will make it or not, which keeps things tense, but may prove frustrating for some.

If you ever thought there was room in Jules Verne's classic novel for airships and brass automatons, this choose-your-own-adventure around the world is just the mobile game for you.

80 DAYS is an adventure game based on the classic Jules Verne novel. Can you guess which one? I'll give you a hint, it's not Journey to the Center of the Earth.

80 Days is a big little game lost. You just have to ask yourself if you have a soft spot for struggling little adventurers and if you’re prepared to work with it through its issues to give it a home on your games shelf and a place to play on your pc.
