Notes

This was originally published for the Spectrum ZX by IPC Business Press as a BASIC type-in listing in Your Computer, vol. 3, no. 8, August 1983, pp. 64–65. The article title is titled 'Time Sliders', but the adventure is titled 'The Time Switch'. Versions 2 and 3 were later published by R. D. Foord Software with basic graphics.
It was unofficially ported to the Oric by Lars Lundgren in 1983 and to the BBC/Electron by Jon Ripley in 1989.
