    I forgot two very important games.
    Shadow of Destiny/Memories and Time Hollow for the DS.

    The first one is in league with BttF. Timetravel element is used so well and you get to visit a german town in 4 different era's. In that fashion it really resembles Hill Valley.

    Tales from the Bully Pulpit, a one-shot comic book by Benito Cereno wherein Teddy Roosevelt and the ghost of Thomas Edison steal H.G. Wells' time machine and eventually use it to wage war against Jorge Hitler, Adolf's Argentinian grand-son, to prevent him from conquering Mars.

    IT. IS. AWESOME.

    I just wanted to say that Timeline is a bad movie, no reason to recommend/watch it beside of a few scenes with beautiful french woman. There is a reason why Jurassic Park is known and this one isn't.

    If you want to watch a good movie then i recommend The Concert, although it's not really a timetravelling thing in a classic way but still deals with the past as well. Anyway don't expect time travelling but good music and a good movie, then you most probably won't be dissapointed.

    A great book by Jack McDevitt called: Time Travelers Never Die.

    And, I want to put in another vote for the indie movie: Primer. It will definitely mess you up, but it is totally cool. You pretty much have to watch it twice once you think you understand what is going on.

    Both of these have the mechanic of time travel that it is only possible to go Forward, but never backwards.

    hi: I just downloaded Night @ the inventory and was winning 15K and the game didn't
    freeze but it wouldn't go any further. Any ideas as to how i can resume where it stopped
    I have two (2) items so far and hope I won't lose them by restarting them; a real fun game. Appreciate the help if possible.
    Thanx Much

    Not the greatest movie of all time, but it was fun to watch, with a structured interesting story and some original jokes.

    I think the best SF stories don't deal with time travells. They all tell more stories in a specific time, in a specific universe, maybe a parallel universe and i think that's just fine as time travells mostly involve certain problems. So it's kind of hard remembering very good books about time travells, maybe David Gerrold's The Man who folded himself.

    There also exists a really good short story, also available as a radio play, by Isaac Asimov about the invention of a device which enables people looking back in time, can't remember the name right now.

    Hah, reminded it, it's The Dead Past.

    In Primer, it is possible to go backwards, they never actually go forward.

    IE: You turn the box on, you wait 4 hours, you get inside, you wait 4 hours, and you get out when you turned the box on.

    The Door 8/10, the darker side of time travelling. Some not this lucky dialogues and the story is a bit rough here and there but i like the amtosphere, the emotions and the silence of the film.
