New Legacy of Time review

Inside Mac Games just posted a review of the Mac OS X version of The Journeyman Project 3. Not bad for a game over a decade old. (Has it really been that long?)

The Journeyman Project 3 for Mac OS X sold out!

The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time DVD-ROM for Mac OS X just ran out of stock and the disc manufacturer that was previously used has apparently exited the business. We'll work on getting more units, but it may take a little while. (hopefully by around the end of the month)

A little something for Buried in Time fans

Here's a 360 degree QuickTime VR turnaround of Agent 5's time-traveling JumpSuit from The Journeyman Project 2 to start off the new year:



You can actually see the crew turning the real-life suit on a big Lazy Susan in front of a blue screen matte in this Making of production video.

Happy Grinchmas!

Oceanhouse Media, a new mobile software developer comprised of a number of Presto Studios alumni, saw its newly released "Grinchmas" become an Apple featured game after it hit #1 in the kid's app category.

This follows the successful release of their other Dr. Seuss licensed app, the "GrinchCam".

The Journeyman Project 3 on Apple's Featured Games

Back in the 90's, Presto Studios was having very frank discussions about the viability of continuing to support the then-disappearing Mac platform — this was before Steve Jobs' return to Apple rescued the company from the brink of bankruptcy. Fortunately, Presto's last two adventure games, Myst 3: Exile and The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time were released for PowerMacs and later ported to Mac OS X. In a nice Thanksgiving surprise, the latter showed up on Apple's website for featured adventure games.
