Knight Tyme is the third installment in the Magic Knight series. After rescuing the wizard Gimbal, the Magic Knight finds himself transported to the 25th century aboard the peaceful trade starship USS Pisces. He must find a way back to his own time.
The game utilizes the “Windimation” system, where pressing a button brings up a window with a list of commands such as pick up, drop, examine, command a character, read something, cast a spell, and wear or remove objects. Players scroll through these commands using movement keys and execute them with the same button.
Spaceflight is part of the gameplay, as the ship must visit several planets. The spaceship needs refueling to prevent the character from being stranded in space. Some rooms can kill the knight instantly, often connected to puzzles that must be solved to access them.
