Putt-Putt Travels Through Time (1997, PC) - Longplay
78Putt-Putt goes to visit his friend Mr. Firebird and show him his new school supplies before Putt-Putt goes to school. Putting a nickel into Mr. Firebird's time machine turns the machine on, sucking Pep and Putt-Putt's school supplies into four eras of the past and the future.
You and Putt-Putt have to travel into the Time of Dinosaurs, the Medieval Times, the Wild West and the Future, so Putt-Putt can be reunited with his things. Along the way you must collect items that you will need to get your things back, meet some new friends and solve difficult puzzles.
Some friends you will meet are Mr. Brachiosaurus, Silverado Sam, King Chariot and Darien the librarian and some needed items are a stone bowl, fire wood, a rope and some custom made pet food.
Putt-Putt Travels Through Time is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Humongous Entertainment in 1997. It is the fourth game in the Putt-Putt series. Infogrames later re-packaged this game in a bundle with Putt-Putt and Pep's Balloon-O-Rama in 1999. It was, fifteen years later, ported to iOS on August 14, 2012.
In this game, Putt-Putt must travel through time to retrieve his calculator, history report, lunchbox, and Pep. He travels through four time periods: age of the dinosaurs, medieval times, wild west, and the future. It is also the last game to feature Jason Ellefson as the voice of Putt-Putt.
Plot
The game begins with Putt-Putt packing his new school supplies. Putt-Putt is excited to show Mr. Firebird his history report, calculator, Smokey the Fire Engine lunchbox, and Pep before school starts. He wakes up Pep, brings his coin, and heads down the road to Mr. Firebird's Lab. He explains about his new Time Portal invention, which allows the past and future to be seen without actually traveling there. After Putt-Putt takes out his things, Mr. Firebird attempts to start the machine. After failing, he realizes he needs a coin to start the machine, and he is fresh out. Putt-Putt offers the coin, and Mr. Firebird starts the machine.
However, the Time Portal goes haywire and opens up. It sucks Putt-Putt's objects and Pep into time. A panicked Mr. Firebird tells Putt-Putt of the risk of being sucked into time unless the portal is closed for good. Putt-Putt assures him that he will gather his things and Pep soon, and enters the Time Portal. Putt-Putt must retrieve his lost things and his lost dog Pep in order for Mr. Firebird to close the portal for good.
In the end, Putt-Putt returns to the present with all his things and Pep as fast as lightning, and Mr. Firebird is surprised to see him with his items and Pep, congratulates Putt-Putt for doing a great job, and successfully closes the portal for good before Putt-Putt shows him his new school supplies. Putt-Putt tells Mr. Firebird that he doesn't know about disasters and liked time traveling and that it is the best fun ever between him and Mr. Firebird. Mr. Firebird is glad that Putt-Putt had so much fun while time traveling, but then tells Putt-Putt that he's going to be late for school unless he hurries according to Mr. Firebird's calculations. Putt-Putt tells him that he's right, and he will show him his school supplies and Pep later. At school, Putt-Putt shares the news by telling everyone about time traveling.
Gameplay
The game contains four different areas to explore: the Age of the Dinosaurs, Medieval Times, Wild West, and the Future. These areas are joined in the middle by the Time Portal and Cartown.
