Time Trax is based on the sci-fi action series starring Dale Midkiff. You play as Darien Lambert, captain of the Fugitive Retrieval Section of Washington D.C. It's 2193 and your arrest record has started to decline sharply due to mysterious disappearances. Dr. Mordecai 'Mo' Sahmbi, a MIT scientist, has been sending criminals back in time using his invention TRAX time machine, and has gone back himself. The police have captured TRAX, leading you to be tasked with capturing the criminals and sending them back to 2193.
As Lambert, your main targets are neo-Nazi racist Sepp Dietrich and Sahmbi himself. You have some equipment to help you: S.E.L.M.A., a supercomputer disguised as an AT&T Mastercard with a holographic persona, and the PPT, a weapon capable of stunning humans for a short period. You also have the ability to "time stall" and Mosh-Ti skills to rely on in dire situations.
You'll run through alleys, explore the Smithsonian (in 1993), ride a motorcycle and jet-ski, battle criminals, and more until you've finally captured the two fugitives.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Based on the sci-fi television series, *Time Trax* is an action-adventure game where players assume the role of Captain Darien Lambert, a law enforcement officer from the 22nd century. To prevent a rogue Nobel Prize-winning scientist and his band of futuristic fugitives from altering history, players must travel back to the present day to hunt them down. Utilizing advanced martial arts, futuristic weaponry, and vehicles like motorcycles and jet-skis, players fight through various hazard-filled levels to capture the criminals and send them back to the future.
Story
Back From the Future
This game takes you into TV's most exciting new action adventure drama... Time Trax. As Captain Darien Lambert, cop of the future, you'll travel back to today's troubled criminal underworld to smash a ring of ruthless felons from the 22nd century. Your weapons and martial arts are way ahead of your time. But so are the bad guys who'd like nothing better than to say, "You're history, Lambert."
In Time Trax, you travel through time in pursuit of the heinous Mordicai Sahmbi and his felonious cronies. Sahmbi is a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who has turned to a life of crime. Using his research in tele-transportation of particle mass, Sahmbi has developed T.X.P., the chemical needed to make molecules transportable, and the T.R.A.X. (Trans Time Research and Experimentation) time machine.
In the same year, Dr. Mordicai Sahmbi of M.I.T. won the Nobel Prize for Physics for his theoretical work in Tele-Transportation of Partical Mass. Sahmbi has been helping criminals in 2193 buy themselves a future by escaping into the past - a past that has no record of their crimes - a past that we know of as our present - 1993.
Sahmbi's price for transmitting these criminals 200 years into the past? Their assistance in his plan for changing history and gaining control of the future.
Fortunately, you as Captain Lambert have traced the mysterious fugitive disappearances to Washington D.C. and are about to use Sahmbi's T.R.A.X. machine to begin an epic manhunt across time. Get ready for a wild ride through the nation's capital (present and future) and far beyond as you track down Sahmbi, assassin Sepp Dietrich and other fugitives as they attempt to flee from you, from the law - and from time itself.
If you are unable to find the fugitives and transmit them back to 2193 for sentencing, they will alter history - your history - and the future you return to will not be your own.
Level 1: The Passage
You start in your own native time, the year 2193, as you begin your pursuit of the evil Mordicai Sahmbi. In this level, you must make your way through a secret part of the Smithsonian Institution as your search for Sahmbi's laboratory. You'll have to use all your skills and techniques to survive - good training for the much more difficult levels ahead.
Watch out for the security guard - he's one of Sahmbi's stooges. Some of the wooden floors will collapse if you put your weight on them. And that red dot that follows you around the screen? It's the sighting systems of an automated laser cannon - if it stays on you long enough to draw a bead, you're toast.
Level 2: The Laboratory
You've found the lab. Now you have to fight your way through it, past guards, technicians, and other Sahmbi henchmen, to reach T.R.A.X., the time machine.
Be sure to time your passage through the security doors you encounter, as some of them are deadly.
Level 3: The Smithsonian, 1993
Now you've made it back from the future to the present, where (or is it when?) Sahmbi and his fellow fugitives are hiding out.
Unfortunately, there is also a mad bomber loose in the building, planting time bombs. You must defuse the bombs before they explode.
Level 4: Mean Streets
Leaving the Smithsonian, you've hit the city streets of Washington, D.C. This level involves you in an exciting motorcycle chase as you attempt to stop an aerial assassination attempt. While fighting 22nd century attack robots, you'll also be pursued by one of Sahmbi's helicopters, manned by a machine-gun sharpshooter.
Take heart: you can take down the chopper with repeated hits on it. And watch out, too: the helicopter is not the only thing trying to do you in.
Level 5: The Skyscraper
As you pursue one of Sahmbi's fugitives to the top of this skyscraper under construction, you'll meet plenty of bad guys and may have a chance to rescue a few hostages, too.
There are plenty of traps and tricks on this level. You'll have to make some pretty long leaps. Construction sites are dangerous places! Look out for time bombs and construction tools in the wrong hands.
Level 6: On the Water
This level is all wet. Selma has indicated that Sepp Dietrich, a 12-time political assassin, is making his way to Hawaii. And by the reception you're getting, it looks like you're on a hot trail. Get ready for high-speed jet-ski combat.
And as if that's not enough, divers will surface from below the water to shoot at you - in short, this is no day at the beach.
Level 7: In the Hawaiian Rain Forest
Here you pursue the infamous Sepp Dietrich through the Hawaiian rain forest. But this is no tropical paradise.
The terrain is rugged and rife with traps and dangers. By now, you should be pretty adept at using all the skills at your command. You'd better be.
Level 8: The Waterfall
It's just you and Dietrich - he

What Is Hidden
The levels of Time Trax also hold more than meets the eye. Certain elements of the scenery and items you'll come across, if destroyed with a punch or PPT fire, will yield invisible bonuses or special items you can use. Or they may reveal bonus rooms, secret passageways, and alternate routes. Explore, probe, investigate!
Listen to Selma. At the beginning of each section, she'll give you clues as to the whereabouts of special items - where to look for them and how to use them.
You cannot directly use these special items, but if you take them to the right place, they'll automatically take effect - and they'll come in very handy!
Lotsa Gotcha's
Watch out! There are also lots of hazards waiting to get you in Time Trax, such as:
•
spiked traps
•
walkways that collapse beneath you
•
fugitives throwing grenades
•
time bombs
•
deep crevasses (jump!)
