Putt-Putt Travels Through Time is a fun adventure video game released in 1997. It's the fourth game in the popular Putt-Putt series. Humongous Entertainment made and published this game. Later, in 2014, Night Dive Studios brought it back for newer devices like iOS, Linux, and Steam. This was the last game where Jason Ellefson voiced Putt-Putt.
The Story of Putt-Putt's Adventure
The game starts with Putt-Putt getting ready for school. He packs his new school supplies. Putt-Putt is excited to show Mr. Firebird his history report. He also has a calculator and a cool Smokey the Fire Engine lunchbox.
Putt-Putt wakes up his dog, Pep. He grabs a coin and heads to Mr. Firebird's Lab. Mr. Firebird has invented a new Time Portal. This machine lets you see the past and future. But you don't actually travel there.
Putt-Putt shows off his school things. Mr. Firebird tries to start his machine. It doesn't work! He realizes he needs a coin to power it. Putt-Putt offers his coin, and the machine starts up.
Suddenly, the Time Portal goes wild! It opens up and sucks in Putt-Putt's school supplies. Even Pep gets pulled into time! Mr. Firebird is worried. He tells Putt-Putt that he could get sucked in too. The portal needs to be closed quickly.
Putt-Putt promises to find his things and Pep. He bravely enters the Time Portal. Your job is to help Putt-Putt get everything back. Once he has his items and Pep, Mr. Firebird can close the portal for good.
Putt-Putt eventually returns to the present. He has all his things and Pep with him. Mr. Firebird then safely closes the Time Portal. Putt-Putt tells Mr. Firebird how much fun time traveling was. He says it was the best adventure ever!
Mr. Firebird is happy Putt-Putt had fun. But he reminds Putt-Putt he'll be late for school. Putt-Putt agrees and rushes off. He plans to show Mr. Firebird his school supplies later. At school, Putt-Putt shares his amazing time-traveling story with everyone.
How to Play the Game
Playing Putt-Putt Travels Through Time is similar to other Putt-Putt games. You use a special glove box to hold items. Putt-Putt can also honk his horn and listen to the radio. You can also use the accelerator to speed up.
There are also fun mini-games to play. These are optional, but they add to the adventure. You'll find them as you explore the four different time periods.
