[MacGyverOnline]

We use to have a topic here whihc had some links to various online MacGyver type escape games and such.

I've done a quick search, but could only find a couple of seperate threads about the crimson room game.

Anyway, I though it might be good to have a list of games these and other games we can find which have MacGyver like qualities to them.

So does anyone know of any good MacGyver games.. preferably online?

Nope. That crimson room game was a good one, but I can't think of any other MacGyverish games.

Heres what we have so far...

Well, there's this-

(But it's not really a game- just a joke- and you definitely will want to have your speakers really low, if not off- just a warning...)

I've heard of this game described as a MacGyver-type game because you are given items and have to find ways to use them.

My brother and I used to enjoy this game pretty well- which has some MacGyver-esque qualities. It's called The Incredible Machine and it's one of those puzzle type games, where you put pieces together to build a machine. It's pretty neat.

And obviously, he's not quite MacGyver, but I've always envisioned a cool MacGyver video game being similar to the mold of some of the classic Indiana Jones video games-
like "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis"

And even before that- "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade"

The newer Indiana Jones games- like "Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine" and "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb" are fun too- but a 3D environment and definitely quite different from the more classic late '80s and early '90s LucasArts games. In fact, among the LucasArts classics, I'd also recommend the Monkey Island games.

And here's a MacGyver character someone created for a Mortal Kombat game I posted about some time ago

Here's the Youtube link - http://youtube.com/watch?v=T31xJD9I8NY

Also, I've seen some Italian programmers who made their own homemade MacGyver video game- that they were selling on Ebay, along with their homemade DVDs of MacGyver episodes.
Here's the link to my original post on that-

And here's their home site- with some screenshots of the game

And here's an interesting blog that ponders the question- "What would MacGyver play?"

I also found a review for a PC game called "Cold War" in which it mentions the main character having MacGyver-esque qualities.

And this isn't related to video games, but I thought it was neat that I also ran across SciFi.com's (The SCI FI Channel) Scifipedia and they have a listing for MacGyver. Cool!

Heres an adventure game which always reminded me of Deathlock.

this is the first adventure game I ever played and it hooked me for life. I think this game was also a major contributer to why I like MacGyver so much.
