Gentlemen, AI is such a unique game that it's first amongst all games which has implemented "time machine" mechanics into gameplay...

Funny, but not so. The old Trek game from mainframes in the 1970s had a cool feature where it would save some secret saved game positions, and if you entered a time warp (and weren't destroyed) it would send you back to an actual saved game state from the past. So if you were about to lose, but could still attempt this, you might get a second chance by sending yourself "back in time".

Well, it's a kind of savegame though, isn't it? But here in AI you really manipulate the time itself...

Sure, from a certain point of view, is highly innovative.

The Trek thing wasn't just a saved game though because your statistics weren't reset and your current ship condition was inserted into a computer-determined previous game state.
