Nanotank
Description
This puzzle game depicted the player as a miniature armored vehicle attempting to travel through the circuit boards of a malfunctioning computer, repairing each board (level).
It was the only product actually shipped by Twin Dolphin Games, although they also completed an old-west target gallery game, but they ceased operations before the boxes arrived for the latter game.
Nanotank was one of the few games intended for Windows 3.1 before the advent of WinG (the first thing Microsoft ever did to support game development on Windows). It was a very short project, leveraging knowledge gained from the abandoned attempt to make a high-visual-quality animated wargame for Windows 3.1.

A Fun and Challenging Series of Puzzles
The Good
What I like most about this game is the type of puzzles in the game. Each puzzle is laid out in front of you, and it is just a matter of figuring out how to complete the circuit board each time. You use various combinations of lasers and switches to power different parts of the circuit, and sometimes it's necessary to solder circuits. The goal is to complete all 100 circuits.
The Bad
The music gets annoying after a bit, and there is no way to permanently turn it off. You can turn it off after you start the game, but the volume levels reset themselves when you exit and restart.
The Bottom Line
A circuit-building puzzle.
