This point n' click adventure game is actually an edutainment (entertainment leading to education) title developed by Sierra, who were also responsible for other games such as the Eco quest and Dr. Brain series. The object of this game is to help a little girl called Pepper, solve puzzles based on history and logic, so that she can fix the mess caused by Dr. Fred's time machine.

The game that made me realize that I don't like point and click games. I tried for years to get any headway in this, and nothing I ever did worked out. It takes so much clicking and guessing and you are always missing the key component. It was also the 90's and my house didn't have internet, so I couldn't look up a guide. I wanted to like the game, it had a fun story and interesting parts, but no matter what I did, I could never get very far. Would play again, but only with a guide this time.
Ugh, don't you just HATE it when your uncle builds a time machine and turns Benjamin Franklin into a responsibility-shirking hippie who invents the hot tub instead of experimenting with the Leyden Jar??
But seriously, the intensity of the final act of this game made my little 8-year-old heart pound non-stop until I finally beat it.
