Description

Automania is a platform game in which the player must help Wally, who works on a car assembly line, build a series of ten cars. Each car consists of six parts that are distributed all around the stock room and must be collected to be placed in their correct positions on the car at the assembly area. The factory is populated with stuff that will kill Wally on contact, like robots, bouncing tires, and air cooling blades.

Trivia

High Score competition

There was a monthly high score competition where the person with the best score would receive £100 from Mikro-Gen. Players had to submit a code which was shown after each game played. If a new high score wasn't received for the next month then the previous best score player received another £100.

Music

The title music is based on the Laurel and Hardy theme Dance Of The Cuckoos.
