Before Alone in the Dark and long before Little Big Adventure, Contraption Zack was among the first games that successfully combined physical puzzles, action, and adventure elements into one fine game. Your job is to help Zack the clueless mechanic pass various levels by using his tools to fix things and pass nasty traps. The game is somewhat reminiscent of Epyx classic Chip's Challenge, but played on a more attractive isometric board, with more parts and items to manipulate. Definitely one of the most original puzzle/adventure games to come along in a long time. Anyone who likes this game should try out its "sequel" of sorts D/Generation, which uses the same engine but focuses more on action and adventure elements. Two thumbs up!Reviewed by: Underdogs
