The game also features a "Duel Mode" for two players. In addition to the primary objective of exiting each level, optional side quests become available in the later stages of some worlds, usually awarding the player with one of several "artifacts" upon completion. Some worlds incorporate elements of text adventure games, and most contain gameplay references to other popular games of the time, such as Pac-Man and Centipede. The worlds vary in character and difficulty. In between each level the player chooses the next level from any one of 16 different "Timegates", each leading to a different world, and each of which must be completed sixteen times, each time being progressively more difficult than the last. In each level, the player must gather keys to open locks which will allow him to exit. The game's basic structure is as a top-down shooter.

The Amiga and DOS versions were ported by Timothy Purves. Later versions were created for various other platforms, including the pseudo-PC-compatible Sanyo MBC-55x with its unique 8-color display.

The game was written by Bill Dunlevy and Harry Lafnear, and published by MichTron, creators of the popular Cashman. Time Bandit is an action/adventure video game that was written originally for the TRS-80 Model I and soon ported to the TRS-80 Color Computer and Dragon 32, but enjoyed its greatest popularity on the Atari ST and Amiga.
