Journey to Alpha Centauri (In Real Time) is an interactive fiction game by Julian Fleetwood released in 1998. It holds the distinction of being the video game with the longest minimum play time to complete – slightly more than three thousand years. It has never been (and in all likelihood will never be) completed without cheating. It was inspired by a description of a similar game in Terry Pratchett's novel Only You Can Save Mankind.
