Gadget: Invention, Travel, & Adventure

Gadget: Invention, Travel, & Adventure is a videogame or interactive movie, first released by Synergy Interactive in 1993. Gadget resembles a point-and-click adventure game similar to Myst, but with a strictly linear storyline culminating in a fixed finale. Thus it tends to be classified more as an interactive movie rather than a videogame. The story centers around a future dominated by retro technology from the 1920s and 1930s, especially streamlined locomotives and flying machines. The game was originally released on 1 CD in 1993 by Synergy Interactive. A special edition of the game,... Gadget: Past as Future, was later released on 4 CD in 1998 by Cryo Interactive. A companion volume of additional art and background plot material, Inside Out with Gadget, was also available as well as a DVD entitled Gadget Trips/Mindscapes. On March 23, 2011, a remastered version of Gadget: Past as Future was released for iOS by NTT Resonant Inc. The game's plot takes place in an unspecified nation headed by the dictator Orlovsky.
