Plot
The plot is as follows:
The notorious Dr. Thanatopsis Dread, to lend credibility to his bid for world domination, has employed devious means to convince the world that grand American accomplishments (1492–1905) are actually the work of his distinguished ancestors. The mysterious Benefactor has invited YOU! to join a crack team of whiz kids in his subterranean lab at Sea Cliff Manor to help restore the historical record to the (more-or-less) legitimacy we know today.
Gameplay
The game "features abundant in-game help, lavish production values, compelling cut-scenes and scores of easter eggs."
Critical reception
Mobygames says the game plays "much like an enhanced remake of Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?". Home of the Underdogs wrote "Another outstanding edutainment title from The Learning Company, Time Riders in American History teaches history of the United States in such a captivating way that kids will not realize that they're learning something... Overall, another great underdog that was sadly overlooked. Thumbs up!"
