Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is a single player graphic adventure PC game based on the 1989 film Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. It was released by Capstone for DOS, Commodore 64, and Amiga systems in 1990. Unlike other Bill & Ted games, the plot stays fateful to the film with some added additions to the story.

[edit] Game Play

The player will take control of both Bill and Ted as they travel through different time periods and talk to locals to help find the historical figures for their oral report in present day San Dimas. As in the film, if player doesn't finish the game in a set amount of time, the player fails the history report, thus losing the game.

[edit] Trivia

  • The game's manual comes in the form of a telephone directory.
  • The game's credits utilise Bill and Ted's lingo referring to the graphics as "Bodacious Graphics", sound as "Triumphant Sound", and programing as "Excellent Programming".
  • The game gives itself an ME rating for "Most Excellent".
  • The game also featured other historical figures that were not in the film. Such as Michaelangelo, Albert Einstein, and Marie Antoinette. Ironically, Antoinette was in the rough draft of the film.
