In memory of Caprona

In 1988 Denton Designs made their Great Escape from 3D, isometric, arcade-adventure games... slamming down smack bang in the middle of a prehistoric lost world where ferocious dinosaurs stalk a Land That Time Forgot. It's an isometric, 3D, arcade-adventure game in which four hapless survivors of an aerial crashlanding must Escape from various perilous threats to their wellbeing and sanity.

'Where Time Stood Still' was published by Ocean and originally made available for the ZX Spectrum, DOS, and Atari ST. In 2014 the Atari ST port was reverse-engineered, allowing it to be enjoyed by Amiga users too.

However you experience it, Where Time Stood Still is an innovative and fun, yet traumatic ordeal that will have you running to Jurassic Park for rest bite. May as well review and trace its inspirational forebears then. Oh, look.
