Mmmhh, interesting topic...
I must say that the best story is of course The Age of Apocalypse, it involves time travel twice! And look at the results, one of the best storylines ever in any media format!
I would go to The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix. The story of Cable's youth! the way Jean and Scott travel to a cloned bodies made from their descendants is damn cool! They lived 8 years in the apocalyptic reign of Apocalypse!
"You will became a cable of hope linking the future to the past" sniff
And that story is linked to the "X-Cutioner's song" one of my favorites X-overs ever!
Mmmhh... I'm seeing a patron in here, my all time fav stories involve Apocalypse... Interesting!

Sonic CD doesn't have the best story, but
it's certainly an enjoyable way of time
travel :)

Chrono Trigger and Red Alert 2: Yuri's
Revenge has lots of Time Travel goodness too.

As for cartoons and anime, I enjoyed Samurai
Jack and the Tenchi Muyo in Love movie.


My votes for best stories is a three-way tie!

12 Monkeys
Army of Darkness
Bill & Ted's 2 movies

12 Monkeys has arguably one of the deepest stories involving time travel.

Still waiting for a Michael Marshell Smith book about time travel... (that should rock)

Doctor Who rocked for a time travel story, and the Tardis was a pretty boss way to travel in time.

As for Anime, I liked the SHin KOR movie and the first Tenchi movie for Time travel stories. Plus Time Estranger was also a pretty cool time travel movie (A nice, little known anime). And CT always rocks, nuff said..

For movies Army of Darkness gets the pick hands down, with Time Bandits also being a fun flick.. Stay clear of Time cop though...:P

But on the whole I don't care for Time Travel stories. Too many times they get over complicated or bogged down in the science of Time travel...

Anyway just to take advantage of this thread, if you are able to time travel, where will you go??

---

Hmmm...I'd like to travel to the sixties. There was a LOT of things going on then, and I'd like to experience them first hand.

They aired a few eps on PBS up here when I was a kid, and I watched it with a passion. I'll probably pick up a few DVD's of the series if I can find it (It's on Digital cable also, but I'm only gonna pay for Cable modem, don't watch much normal TV these days...:)

Ah. Well, I know a good bit about it, if you ever have any questions.. ^_^ It looks cheap now, but at the time, it was very good... but if you can get past the cheap look, there are really some excellent stories. ^_^

*Salutes* The Hitchhiker's Guide series are among my favorite books EVER! Dominus is a big fan too, as I'm sure he'd tell you. RIP, Mr. Adams. Your stories will be treasured forever.

Indeed. His other series, The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul was great, as well.
For those of you who loved Douglas Adams, read Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Their humor is very similar. I love how Death is one of the main characters! (and he's the good guy!)

Douglas Adams! I really like his work, but I
still can't find the last book of his
series; I think it's called "So Long, and
Thanks for All the Fish" "_"
Been hunting in all the 2nd hand bookstores
like Yomiko Readman. I like collecting 1st
editions... a weird obsession of mine.

More Pratchett fans in this board? :)
I'm a big fan of his as well! His last book
was really fun (The Last Hero); and I wonder
who's going to do the cover art since the
regular artist (was it Kidby or Kirby)
passed away recently.

Ah, and they're going to animate his
Bromeliad series (Truckers, Diggers, Wings)
so I'm waiting for that too.
I've also heard rumours or a Good Omens
movie?

There are actually two more books in Mr. Adam's " Trilogy " ( ... ) , " Young Zaphod plays it safe " , and " Mostly Harmless " . I am also a Pratchett fan, but his books are hard to come by where I am. -_- The last one I was able to read was " The Last Continent " . ^_^

Update: Forgot, there's one more Douglas Adams " Hitchhiker " book coming out; it's being publish post-humously, and I've forgotten the name. -_-

Hope it's up to the rest of the Hitchikers books (I get worried when stuff get's released like that, never know who's been mucking about in the script...).

Anyway, as for another Adam's book to check out...There's Starship Titanic, which while not written by Adams is based of his script (and written by Terry Jones of Monty Python fame, so it's bound to be funny...:)
