@ClassicTVMan81 Sound was not sampled. It was created by keying in numerical values, like turning the knobs and switches on an analogue synthesizer. Basically, you would sit for hours and hours and experiment with different values, but you never really got exactly what you wanted.

Contraption was my favourite game. The animation was extremely good, especially for a little known company like "Icon".

This brings back memories!
We used to have a school computer club at lunchtimes and would play this on a huge black and white television.

you're a genius for uploading this, i never thought i'd see this game again... it was ages ago!

I had a version which allowed you to do a super jump. On level three, you could get to the top with two big jumps and on small ladder climb. Happy days, playing this in the computer room at school.

Wow this must have been a long while ago, and still jobless lol. However, since then, i have mangaged to get an emulator for Windows. I think I'll have a go at this game, see if I'm harder than last time. (or it will collapse my confidence again.)

Better than the nearest Speccy equivalent for graphics- not really surprising.
Call me crazy, but don't copyright laws protect the companies from such a thing?

It's different enough to avoid being an exact duplicate, whereas Acornsoft Defender was too close to the original by name only and became Planetoid. Acornsoft Snapper was too close to PacMan by the character design, hence little men in v.2
