Killing Time is a horror-themed first-person shooter video game developed by 3DO. Though meant at first as an exclusive for their 3DO Interactive Multiplayer console, it was later ported to the Windows 95 PC platform in 1996 by Intrepid Software and to the Macintosh when the 3DO system failed to meet sales expectations.
[edit] Overview
The player controls an egyptologist, trapped on the fictional island of Matinicus within the estate of wealthy heiress Tess Conway. In 1932, Conway, while attempting to use a mystical Ancient Egyptian water clock which purportedly granted eternal life, vanished, along with many of her famous friends. The player's objective is to find the clock, and discover the secrets of the estate, all while beating back the many horrors who now occupy the island from beyond the grave.
[edit] Gameplay
The gameplay follows the standard set by most first-person shooters with the player utilizing an assortment of weapons. These include a crowbar, dual-pistols, shotgun, Thompson submachine gun, Molotov cocktails, flamethrower, and a magical ankh which can be used to wipe out many enemies at a time. The game does not come with any form of multiplay.
