Story

The story begins with an alien ambassador arriving to finalize Earth's admission into the Symbiotry of Peaceful Beings. However, when Agent 5 is on duty a temporal rip is detected, and Earth's history is changed. The result of the new timestream is that humanity is passed over for admission into the alien organization.

As it turns out, Elliot Sinclair, the inventor of the original Pegasus device, has sent three Prototypes (robots) named Ares, Mercury, and Poseidon, back in time to alter history. He fears that the aliens want to conquer Earth. Agent 5 manages to restore the timeline and stops Sinclair from assassinating the Symbiotry delegate.

Bugs and Fixes

The game suffered from performance problems and slow animations due to its early reliance on Macromedia Director. These problems were mostly overcome with the version 2.0 release that was retitled The Journeyman Project Turbo! and published by Sanctuary Woods in 1994.

TJP v1.0 - (1992) original self-published release for Macintosh; TJP v1.1 - (1992) bug fixes; TJP v1.2 - (1993) performance upgrade, fastest Mac version until TJP Turbo; TJP MPC v1.0 - (1993) first release for Windows 3.1; TJP Turbo - (1994) unified release for Mac and PC with major speed improvements;

The Journeyman Project: Pegasus Prime

This complete remake of the original Journeyman Project was published by Bandai in 1997 with some of the actors from The Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time. Originally announced as a "Director's Cut", Pegasus Prime featured enhanced graphics, sounds, movies, and puzzles. It was released solely for the Power Macintosh by Bandai Digital Entertainment in North America, although it was also developed for the Apple Pippin and Sony PlayStation in Japan.

Presto had planned to port the game to the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn in the US. But, since the Pippin was very similar to the Power Macintosh, it was developed there only.

Acclaim Entertainment was supposed to be the publishers of the Sony PlayStation version in the US before it was cancelled.

The Journeyman Chronicles

A group of several dedicated fans have started a complete remake of the entire trilogy, entitled "The Journeyman Chronicles," using the Source engine that was used in the first-person shooter Half-Life 2. Plans are to release the game in small episodes, rather than all at once. So far, seven pre-alpha stage screenshots and videos have been released, including one trailer. As of summer 2006, the group has started preliminary work and is looking for additional team members.
