Game Overview

Contraption Zack is this weird little DOS gem from '92 where you play as Zack, the most overworked handyman ever. GadgetCo’s entire factory is falling apart, and of course, it’s your job to fix it—while dodging a ridiculous number of traps. Like, who designs a factory with this many spinning blades and random pits?

You’ve got 60 levels of isometric puzzle chaos, hunting down missing tools and jury-rigging solutions. It feels like a jankier, blue-collar cousin of The Incredible Machine—less about perfect physics and more about surviving the factory’s nonsense. First time I played, I lost Zack to a conveyor belt within seconds. You learn fast.

Honestly, half the fun is just seeing what new ridiculous death trap the next level throws at you. It’s got that early ‘90s charm where everything’s just slightly unfair in the best way.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
