Putt-Putt Travels Through Time

About

Putt-Putt Travels Through Time is a point-and-click adventure where you guide the clueless but lovable Putt-Putt across four distinct historical eras. Each location, dinosaurs, medieval times, Wild West, and a futuristic world, presents puzzles to recover lost school supplies and rescue his dog Pep. The gameplay relies on exploration and logic, with simple mechanics suited for casual players. The game’s standout feature is its multiple paths; missing items can appear in any of the four settings, changing puzzles between runs. Originally released in 1997, it’s been ported to modern platforms, keeping its charm intact. While some puzzles feel dated, the time-hopping concept and quirky humor still appeal to fans of classic point-and-click adventures.

Storyline

Putt-Putt drops by Mr. Firebird's lab before school to show him his history report, lunchbox, and calculator. There, he is amazed to discover that Mr. Firebird has invented a time machine — and horrified when an accident sucks his school supplies, and his dog Pep, into the machine, scattering them through time and space. Putt-Putt must therefore use the time machine and travel to four periods — the age of the dinosaurs, the Middle Ages, the Wild West, and the far future — to retrieve them.
