The Story Behind Time Trax
Terry Lloyd served as designer, with Robert Toone acting as main programmer. The Genesis version was distinguished by its soundtrack, scored by English composer Tim Follin using a sound driver written by Dean Belfield. The Sega Genesis version was going to be published by Black Pearl Software (a name used by THQ for Sega games).
It was developed by Malibu Interactive, a defunct American-British game developer first established by Cinemaware co-founder Bob Jacob under the name Acme Interactive with former staff from Ocean Software and Software Creations. Despite being reviewed in major gaming publications, this version was never released until a prototype ROM image in a fully finished state was leaked online in 2013. Time Trax was announced for both the SNES and Sega Genesis at the 1993 Consumer Electronics Show, with a release date in early 1994.
How Time Trax Plays
The plot follows police Captain Lambert, with aid from his supercomputer assistant S.E.L.M.A. Lambert travels back in time using the Trax device to capture commander Sepp Dietrich and doctor Mordecai Sahmbi. The player controls Lambert across eight levels in order to confront Dietrich and Sahmbi, while apprehending criminal fugitives sent back in time.
The player controls Lambert across eight levels, apprehending enemies using a stunner weapon capable of sending them back to the future. Time Trax is a 1994 action-platform video game developed by Malibu Interactive and published by Malibu Games for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Lambert is equipped with the "Pellet Projection Tube" (PPT) weapon, which can be used to stun enemies, or shoot pellets that transport them back to the future.
Why Players Still Load It Up
GamesMasters Tim Tucker commended its sound and playability reminiscent of the Super Star Wars games, but found the graphics average and expressed mixed feelings regarding lastability. Spanish publication Nintendo Acción gave positive remarks to the audiovisual presentation but noted the character's minimal fighting ability. British publication Super Control criticized the game's sub-standard audiovisual presentation and lack of originality.
Computer and Video Games summarized their review by writing: "Challenging, absorbing and loads of fun to play - one of the best platform beat-'em-ups on the SNES." GameFans four reviewers regarded it as a good action-platform title, highlighting its detailed character animation, solid gameplay mechanics, and high degree of difficulty, while criticizing the music. Video Gamess Robert Zengerle called it an "excellent action platformer." Games World magazine labelled it as a fun platform/shoot 'em up title, and celebrated its technical use of the Super Nintendo hardware. However, both Homsy and Gavet commented that the lack of continues may seem off-putting.
