Dr. Franken is a puzzle game released in 1992 for the Sega Game Gear. This title challenges players to solve complex puzzles by manipulating various objects and mechanisms within each level. The main objective is to navigate through a series of rooms, repairing and activating devices to progress further and ultimately escape the laboratory setting.
The game features a deliberate pace that encourages thoughtful problem-solving rather than fast reflexes. A unique mechanic involves assembling and fixing machinery parts scattered across the levels, requiring players to plan their moves carefully. This adds a layer of strategy uncommon in typical puzzle games of the era.
Dr. Franken stands out due to its combination of a scientific theme with puzzle elements, creating an unusual idea where players engage in “electronic surgery” on machines. The distinctive laboratory backdrop and mechanical puzzles create a memorable experience within the Sega Game Gear’s puzzle game library.
