Meantime was a cancelled role-playing video game originally intended for the Apple II and possibly for the Commodore 64.
Brian Fargo (head of Interplay at the time) halted development for this platform, in part due to the falling 8-bit computer market.
For example, Amelia Earhart joins the party when she is rescued from a Japanese prison camp, and Wernher von Braun does when he is helped to escape the Soviets at the end of World War II.
The Meantime project was revived around 1992 under the lead of Bill Dugan, with the aim of bringing the game to IBM PC-compatibles.
A contractor was hired to port the program to MS-DOS, and an Interplay employee began work on EGA graphics for use in the game.
Bill Dugan finally recommended the cancellation of the project, after seeing the advanced (at the time) graphics of Ultima VII.
