The Journeyman Project: Pegasus Prime is an adventure computer game developed by Presto Studios and published by Bandai in 1997. It is a complete remake of the original Journeyman Project, using some of the actors from The Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time.

Story and gameplay

Like the original, this game is played from a first-person perspective, but static location images have been upgraded with walk animations like The Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time.

The story follows the actions of Temporal Agent Gage Blackwood who travels to three separate points of past to stop three androids who attempt to change history.

Disc layout

Pegasus Prime was split over 4 CD-ROMs. The layout is as follows:

Discs 1, 3 and 4 included a "Tiny TSA" which included only the inside of the Pegasus Device. This was included so an additional disc-swap was not required when changing between the 3 timezones.

Development and release

Originally announced as a "Director's Cut",[1] Pegasus Prime featured enhanced graphics, sounds, movies, and puzzles. It was released solely for the Power Macintosh by Bandai Digital Entertainment in North America. In addition, the title was released in Japan for the Apple Pippin and PlayStation. Presto made plans to port the game to the PlayStation (with publisher Acclaim Entertainment) and Sega Saturn in the U.S., but these versions were never released.

By the fall of 2012 the game began to be supported by beta versions of ScummVM, making it playable for platforms which support this VM.[2][3] However it requires extraction of the game files from the original CDs (which are written with Apple Macintosh Hierarchical File System) to a hard disk.[4]

In December 2013, the game was released on DVD-ROM for Mac OS X.[5][6] Windows and Linux versions were made available in March 2014.[7]

In April 2014, the game was released for digital download on GOG.com.[8]
