Play Inspector Gadget: Mission 1 – Global Terror! Online

Inspector Gadget: Mission 1 – Global Terror! came out in 1992 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games lineup, developed by Azeroth, Inc. It was one of those early side-scrolling platformers that tried to capture the spirit of the cartoon, with all its goofy charm and gadgetry. The game fit right in with the era's pixel-heavy adventures, where colorful sprites and simple controls were the norm.

You play as Inspector Gadget, moving screen by screen through various levels, jumping over obstacles and avoiding enemies like M.A.D. agents. Your main goal is to stop Dr. Claw's plans by collecting items and using different gadgets, such as the extendable Go-Go-Gadget arms or helicopter hat, to overcome environmental puzzles. The pacing is methodical, and the difficulty can be unforgiving with precise jumps and timing required. It feels like a straightforward, sometimes clunky, but earnest attempt to bring the cartoon's action to life.

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