  Amazon.com: Timescape: Books: Gregory Benford   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Timescape presents the subculture and world of scientists in microcosm: the lab, the loves, the grappling for grants, the pressures from university and government, the rewards and trials of relationships with spouses, the pressures of the scientific race, and the thrill of discovery.
Timescape merits the tag "hard science fiction"; it tells the story of scientists, and readers can't help but learn something about tachyons and physics while reading it.
Initially, Timescape caught my attention with its central premise of a dying future (well, 1998, the future when the book was written) finding a way through tachyon messages of contacting the past (1962).

Timescape is 1980 novel by science fiction writer Gregory Benford.

 Review of TimeScape
TimeScape: Journey to Pompeii, or Pompeii: The Legend of Vesuvius as its European release is known, is another first-person point-and-click adventure from the Cryo Interactive/Arxel Tribe/Dreamcatcher collaboration.
TimeScape's graphics are pretty much the same as in most recent Dreamcatcher games, with full-screen medium-resolution rendered backgrounds and cyberpuppet characters.
TimeScape is a reasonably-long adventure with a unique historical theme that could probably be improved with more problem-solving and fewer arbitrary plot triggers.

 UHS: TimeScape: Journey to Pompeii Review
TimeScape has all the makings of a great adventure game -- extensive 3D graphics, a complex story line, many characters to interact with, and a modest sprinkling of puzzles.
After a rather lengthy (and well-animated) final cut scene, you are left on the road outside of Pompeii with Sophia and a few other characters but with no indication at all of whether you will be returned to your own (i.e., 19th century) time.
TimeScape provides a moderately well-done graphical landscape, combined with a great deal of historical research into the ancient city of Pompeii.

 Timescape: Journey to Pompeii for PC Review - PC Timescape: Journey to Pompeii Review
Timescape was originally published in Europe by Cryo Interactive, whose many adventure games often lack an entirely coherent premise.
You play as Adrian Blake, presumably an archaeologist "on a mission for the crown" at the end of World War I. While exploring a cave, Adrian comes down with a fever and is approached by the goddess Ishtar, who offers to cure him in exchange for his love.
Exploration can be a little confusing at first because many streets have a similar appearance, which forces you to check the map constantly, not only to verify your location but also to ensure you're moving in the right direction.

 'Lord of Rings' - Timescape Animation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The left edge of the timescape window represents the beginning of the movie, and the right edge of the timescape represents the end of the movie.
What is most striking about this timescape is how the ring appears as a sinuous three-dimensional "object." It is visible in some form throughout the entire timescape, and even as it twists and changes shape, it does so in a coherent manner that invites us to imagine it as a real object.
Most of the action takes place in the middle of the timescape animation, because most of the motion in the movie is happening in the center of the movie window frame.

Timescape: Journey to Pompeii is a unique blend of an enjoyable game with a great deal of educational value.
However, unlike Beyond Atlantis, it balances these two parts very well and does not force either down your throat.

 Applelinks.com: Review - TimeScape: Journey to Pompeii
TimeScape offers some assistance in that it doesn't allow you into areas in which you don't yet need to be.
If they're looking for a reason to not purchase the game, how about the fact that we'd occasionally lose the ability to access the menu, so we couldn't save our game and would even have to reboot the computer in order to exit.
TimeScape builds nicely to a Titanic-like conclusion (a creepy cut-scene of people walking about town, oblivious to their impending doom, soon followed by these same people getting squashed by huge columns).

 Timescape - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
"Timescape" bears some resemblance to a 1965 episode of the Outer Limits called "The Premonition," where a test pilot and his wife are flung into an alternate timeline (the near future) where people and objects appear to be immobilized, but are in fact moving at an imperceptibly slow speed.
Additionally, in "The Premonition", one of the "frozen" people is in jeopardy, but is rescued, much like Dr. Crusher in "Timescape".
This episode features a runabout, a type of spacecraft that was more commonly seen in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

 Working Dogs Book Store - Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 151: Timescape
When they get to the Enterprise there is a warp core breach in progress, which has something to do with a nearby Romulan warbird and, in turns out, aliens from another continuum.
Picard and his cohorts have to figure out the mystery before every goes "ka-boom." "Timescape" is an average STNG episode, with some interesting variations on temporal distortions, but the series has done much better (e.g., "Cause and Effect," the classic Episode 119).
I think that Timescape is a wonderful episode due greatly to the fact that it more realist than most episodes.
