Play Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets! Online

Super Solvers: Gizmos and Gadgets is an educational game released in 1993 for the MS-DOS platform. Developed and published by The Learning Company, it combines side-scrolling platforming with science and logic puzzles. The game is set in the Shady Glen Technology Center, where the player's objective is to outsmart the character Morty Maxwell, who has taken over as the head scientist.

Players navigate a side-view environment, controlling a character who must solve a series of science-based puzzles to unlock doors within a warehouse. These puzzles test knowledge in areas such as simple machines, electricity, and physics. Progress through the game involves collecting specialized vehicle parts that are hidden behind these solved puzzles. To complicate this task, robotic enemies called Cyber Chimps also roam the areas, gathering parts; players can temporarily disable them by throwing bananas, which causes the chimps to fall asleep.

The vehicle parts obtained are used to construct a custom racing vehicle. After building their machine, players enter a racing phase where they compete directly against Morty Maxwell in a sequence of 15 challenge races. Success in these races, which requires a well-designed vehicle based on the collected parts, determines the game's outcome. Winning all races allows the player to reclaim the Technology Center and achieve the goal of becoming the lead scientist.
