  1. TGP! is an improved LSD trip through the same cracked territory, but with a longer, better story and overall craftier puzzle design.

    It's one of the most outrageous games I've ever played and for that alone I love it. [Oct 2009, p.67]
  3. Past the wordy stuff, the way the game is presented is second to none - there's a mix of animation and drawing styles in the cut-scenes and credits that evokes old-school LucasArts, and the in-game animation/design is kooky and amusing but rarely disturbing.

    An absolute bargain. [Nov 2009, p.101]
  5. The final product put together by the folks at Zombie Cow Studios is the definition of a game that's greater than the sum of its parts. Pick it apart and you have subpar graphics and minimal sound. Put it together and you have something completely different: a charming, fun, and comical adventure wrapped with loads of nostalgia that was obviously created by a team with a passion for what they do.

    Let us remind you of the prince of this gem: 2.99 quid. Buy it, you tight wad. [Issue#25, p.57]
  7. This game is sure to delight some old-school gamers out there.

    I agree with the idea that although not radicle this is a great old school type adventure game in the mould of the 90's Monkey Island I agree with the idea that although not radicle this is a great old school type adventure game in the mould of the 90's Monkey Island etc. It also has entertaining dialogue and its VERY good value. If you want to try an indie sleeper hit try this but if you are looking for bells n whistles computing try the bigger budget games. Expand

    Two absolute bare bones point-and-click adventures. If you aren't into British humor, it is probably going to be painful to read through theTwo absolute bare bones point-and-click adventures. If you aren't into British humor, it is probably going to be painful to read through the game dialog. But if you like Benny Hill / Monty Python type humor, they are bearable. Although separate games, they really should be treated and played as one single long adventure since Time Gentlemen, Please! is an immediate sequel to the much shorter Ben There, Dan That! Combined, these two games hold overwhelming entertainment value for their wild and crazy adventures, completed by truly bizarre and humorous inventory item uses. In comparison Ben There, Dan That! is simply a prototype for the much more refined Time Gentlemen, Please!, but together they complete a highly enjoyable adventure game. They take me back to simpler times when games like Space Quest and Leisure Suit Larry were king. Expand
