'''''The Journeyman Project''''' is a [[Science Fiction]] [[Adventure Game]] series, notable as one of the first and ''last'' franchises to make substantial use of full-motion video, as one of the first games to be released in a hybrid format that could be played both on Macs and PCs, as one of the first games to be released on DVD, and for the dubious honor of having remade the first game in the series three times.
''The Journeyman Project'' opens some several centuries on in one of Earth's floating cities, on the very day scheduled for first diplomatic contact with a friendly alien species. (They had wisely chosen to make an appointment ten years in advance to give humanity a collective chance to get used to the idea first.)
Line 24:
Plans were begun for a fourth game, but were quickly scrapped as Red Orb Software, which had bought the series, were absorbed by Brøderbund.

* [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: Averted. In his initial appearance Arthur the AI has been corrupted by its creator and cries unearthly threats against any intruder from his space station tomb...but it's a complete aversion: Arthur was corrupted by his maker's love of twentieth-century media, and the scary noises were a ploy lifted from Scooby Doo to scare off a time-travelling thief. From the moment he meets Agent 5 the two become great friends, and Arthur even proves willing to sacrifice his own existence to save our hero.
* [[Ancient Astronauts]]: Both good ones and bad ones. The good ones helped advance the civilisations of Atlantis, Shangri-La, and Eldorado through artifacts powered by alien technology, and the bad ones blew up all three civilisations while fighting each other for the artifacts.
