The game displays this cool, well I liked it, flashing image as it loads

Then come a series of animated heads of the people involved with the game. This is singer Ian Dury

The game's title screen is followed by the pictures of the game's developers

The game starts with the choice of controller

There's a story with this game and it is important to listen to it and play the game later

After a long pause the last mouse on earth appears inside the machine. Soon it will die and trigger the events of the story / game

The DNA Welder. The object is to coax the DNA into life by touching it. The player controls the green square. The blue square is a probe from the Defect Police and must be avoided

The Cell producer. While avoiding the blue probe the player must touch the pulsing cells to keep them alive.

The Memory Bank. The player must keep the cells alive by touching them with the cursor. Once they stop moving the tiny spark of life, aka the green dot in the top right window, stops learning

The Belle Bank. keep touching the eggs to keep them moving. The patrolling blue probe must still be avoided

The Beau Bank. The object is to nudge the very slow moving red sperm so that it meets the equally slow moving red egg. The black sperm are static barriers. This is really hard.

Done it!

The Incubator. Here the cocoon must remain intact. This is done by touching each part

The Umbilicus. The baby is being released into the world. To make good its escape it must avoid the eye-probes

The Defect Police have discovered the child!
