comment |
Developed by Sierra in 1993 as the first of a series (that unfortunately never took off), Pepper's Adventures in Time was an adventure Edutainment Game starring sharp-witted tomboy Pepper and her charmingly vicious dog, Lockjaw.During another lovely day of playing fetch and antagonizing the neighbor lady, Pepper accidentally stumbles upon her crazy Uncle Fred getting ready to unleash a diabolical revenge on society. Sick and tired of being mocked for his radical ideas, Fred has constructed his masterpiece: a Time Machine capable of rewriting history and putting him in charge of everything! The first target? None other than Benjamin Franklin, whose life and works played a key role in bucking English control over the American colonies.Pepper and Lockjaw look on as Fred dumps some doctored "essence of 1968" into the machine, transforming the Founding Father into a blissed-out, spineless flower child. They try to stop him, but are sucked into a portal and tossed into 18th-century Pennsylvania. Pepper needs to meet Ben Franklin, reverse Fred's anachronistic edits, and save the future of the United States - all while keeping an eye on Lockjaw!In addition to the standard Walk/Look/Touch/Speak/Item options, Pepper's Adventures has a "Truth" button that briefs the player on the real history behind its characters and environments. A quiz on these historical tidbits concludes each act. |

Bittersweet Ending: If you think about it; although Pepper & Lockjaw help set things right in colonial times, they are whisked away by the time machine at the end. Though the game ends on a Sequel Hook, there was never another game, so they may be lost in time forever. |

Artistic License – History: The "Truth" button differentiates truths (or at least reasonable possibilities) and artistic licenses. Most of the historical inaccuracies are due to some combination of Fred's meddling, gameplay reasons, Rule of Funny, or Rule of Cool. |

Nearly Normal Animal: Lockjaw is a Mostly Normal Animal with only the capabilities of a normal dog. However, he shows two human mannerisms by covering his ears while Ima sings, and then he points the way out with his "hands" if you have him sniff in the maze of hallways. |

Meaningful Name: The village idiot, Poor Richard, is named after Franklin's famous almanac. That might clue in the player that they are connected to Franklin somehow. Also, pretty much all of Pepper's neighbors, like the Crankees, Miss Gumflapper, Miss Vitriol and Mr. Spheroid. The same carries over to the colonial days, with names like General Lee Stuffed (generally stuffed). |

Shout-Out: Multiple ones to Monty Python: A scene where Lockjaw gets knocked out parodies the Dead Parrot Sketch. Trying to give the key to the carrier pigeon results in a comment that European pigeons can't carry as much as African pigeons. After the townspeople each thank Pepper and ask for her name, she gives each one a different fake name based on her love of journalism, such as Lou Rant, Gerald O. Rivera, Walter Crankwright, Morley Wafer, Donnie Chung, & Ezra Winfrey. |
