[edit] Summary

Jimmy uses the Imagination Station to travel back to the 1800's! He meets up with a fellow named Abe in Washington DC, but events soon take a drastic turn!

[edit] Plot

Jimmy Barclay thinks history is one long snooze and that the Imagination Station isn't nearly as exciting as the Zappazoids video game. But when Whit programs the Station to take Jimmy back to 1865, he soon discovers how wrong he is.

There, he meets a tall, elderly gent who teaches him how to hunt squirrels with a sling. The gent, it turns out, is the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Jimmy experiences firsthand the last days of the Civil War, including the Battle of Richmond, General Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox, and the assassination of Honest Abe. Zappazoids better than the Imagination Station? History boring? Not anymore, according to Jimmy Barclay!

[edit] Notes

• Yet another element of the Imagination Station was introduced in "Lincoln"-a remote control that allows you to "fast forward" through the adventure.
• This was the first time the Imagination Station was used for a historical adventure rather than a Biblical one.
