The Top 5 Time Travel Games
Manipulating the fabric of time and space is tricky business, but hoo-dang, is it ever fun! Time travel has been a favorite element of science fiction, and as such, it’s proven to be just as entertaining when applied to video games.

Kiddies, it’s time to put away your flux capacitors and start practicing drawing time holes.
