Game Description
Step into the boots of a time-traveling warrior in Time Lord for the NES, a sci-fi platformer developed by Rare. As Earth's last defense against an alien invasion, players journey through five distinct eras—Medieval England, the Wild West, the Age of Pirates, and more—to eliminate alien overlords who have disrupted time. Each level features unique historical environments and period-appropriate enemies, requiring clever use of time-limited attacks and item collection to complete your mission before the clock runs out.
Gameplay Features
- Travel through five time periods with historically themed level designs
- Combat aliens with era-specific melee and projectile weapons
- Race against a strict time limit to complete missions and advance
- Strategic item collection needed to unlock level exits
- Mix of platforming, puzzle-solving, and combat gameplay styles
Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Time Lord was developed by Rare during its prolific NES era, shortly before its breakout hits like Battletoads and RC Pro-Am. Its cover art was illustrated by the iconic Tom duBois, known for his work on Konami classics like Contra III and Castlevania IV, giving the game a striking shelf presence for collectors.
