Description

"P.I.T.S." (Prisoners in Time and Space) is a captivating action-adventure game released for the Atari Lynx in 1991. In this unique game, players assume the role of a skilled time-traveling agent tasked with navigating through various historical periods to rescue imprisoned scientists who have been scattered across time by an evil villain known as Chronos. The game's primary objective is to solve puzzles, battle enemies, and use time portals to move between different eras such as Ancient Egypt, Medieval Europe, and the futuristic Neo Tokyo. Each period not only presents its own challenges but also its distinct aesthetic and thematic elements, enhancing the immersive experience.

The game was notable for its technical accomplishments on the Atari Lynx, utilizing the portable console’s capabilities to deliver detailed sprites and multi-layered backgrounds which enriched its visual appeal. "P.I.T.S." was one of the first games on the Lynx to introduce a save feature, thanks to the cartridge's internal memory, allowing players to save their progress. Although not initially a commercial success, in part due to the limited popularity of the Lynx platform itself, "P.I.T.S." has gained a cult following over the years for its innovative gameplay mechanics and its ambitious narrative scope. It remains a cherished example of the potential for storytelling and complex gameplay on handheld gaming systems.
