Titanic: Adventure out of Time

[lpetrich]

When looking for computer games based in that ill-fated ship's voyage, I found one with a remarkable premise.

Titanic: Adventure out of Time

A point-and-click adventure game from 1996.

You are a secret agent who is sent back in time to try to change history, and you end up aboard that ship. What you bring back determines the course of future history -- if you survive. SPOILERS:

Unfortunately, you don't get to save the ship. But here is what you can bring back:

One of Adolf Hitler's paintings. It makes him a minor celebrity, and he never gets into politics. The Nazi Party stays on the lunatic fringe of German politics and does not take over.

A notebook that features some Russian Communist revolutionaries, like Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and Leon Trotsky. If you bring it back, the Russian secret police then arrests them and sends them to Siberia. The Communists don't take over.

Some jewelry and an old book. If you bring them back, then some Serbian nationalists don't get a hold of them, and they won't be able to finance their assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. World War I does not start.

You can either bring back or not bring back each set of items, giving 8 permutations of outcomes. One of them is our timeline, and most of the others are either Nazis or Communists taking over.
