Inspector Gadget: Mission 1 – Global Terror! Overview
Inspector Gadget: Mission 1 - Global Terror! is a point-and-click adventure where the player alternates control between Penny and her dog Brain. Their objective is to thwart Dr. Claw, who has replaced several United Nations members with robotic duplicates and holds the real ones captive worldwide.
The adventure is structured around a cycle of rescues, first involving the characters themselves and then the UN delegates. Early on, Brain is captured, requiring Penny to free him. Later, Penny becomes imprisoned, and the player must locate Inspector Gadget's scattered gadgets to discover her location and subsequently rescue her. These gadgets are managed through an interface accessed via Penny's book.
With both characters reunited and gadgets recovered, the player assists Uncle Gadget in freeing each kidnapped UN member. The core interaction uses a standard verb icon bar for actions like looking and talking, supplemented by specific icons for character switching and accessing the book. The game is designed to be easy, featuring a repetitive mission structure aimed at a younger audience. The final confrontation with Dr. Claw's plan takes place at the UN building after all captives are saved.
