The premise, in the publisher's words

A side-scrolling action game based on the TV show of the same name. The player, as future cop Darien Lambert, must capture criminals that have escaped to 1993. A Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version was made, completed, reviewed and set to be published by Black Perl Software but was canceled for unknown reasons by the publisher. Malibu would be sold to GameTek in the coming months which may explain its disappearance. A different Time Trax was released for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and MSX in 1986.
