Probably the most magical and entertaining game you will ever play.
We cannot recommend this one enough. Lovingly crafted by Amanita Design (of Samorost fame), Machinarium is an outstanding example what happens when close group of designers pour their heart and soul into something very special. This should be the benchmark for all adventure games.
Simply Beautiful.
Enjoy – Notcot
Collectors Edition includes:
- Additional CD with the games music and 5 additional bonus sound tracks
- Booklet including never seen before concept art
- A3 Poster
- A printed walkthrough
Machinarium is a puzzle video game developed by Amanita Design. The goal of Machinarium is to solve a series of puzzles and brain teasers. The puzzles are linked together by an overworld consisting of a traditional point and click adventure story.
The overworlds most radical departure is that only objects within the player characters reach can be clicked on. Machinarium is notable in that it contains no dialogue, neither spoken nor written. The game instead uses a system of animated thought bubbles.

It’s just the thing that Harry Potter could use while watching TV at Hogwarts – a wand that changes channels or turns down the volume at the flick of a wrist.
And this buttonless remote control certainly seems to have magic properties because it has just attracted the largest investment in the history of Dragons’ Den, BBC2’s entrepreneurial reality series.
Entrepreneurs Chris Barnardo and Richard Blakesley accepted a £200,000 offer from tough-talking Duncan Bannatyne for their Kymera Wand on the hit show. – Dail Mail
If you or your precious offspring are obsessed with a certain bespectacled boy wizard, you’ll no-doubt already have wands lying about the house. This one, however, is totally different to anything you will have waggled before – it can control the telly. In fact, it can control most things that require a remote control, making its wielder appear to be able to perform some pretty incredible leisure-orientated magic tricks, and you won’t even need to spout gibberish spells to do it.
After you’ve learnt the basics (it takes a few practice sweeps to get the hang of it), you’ll be able to programme your wand to control the volume, channel, brightness or whatever your remote can do. A turning motion (it’s all in the wrist) will control the volume, a sweep up or down will move the channel forward or back a step, and even double-tapping on the side will perform whatever you assign it. In all there are 13 different swooshes, sweeps and swoops to learn, and each one can be given a separate task to complete. All you have to do is put your wand into ‘learning mode’ by giving it a quick tap on the shaft, perform the move you want, and then press the corresponding key on your remote – the wand remembers it and performs it next time you do the same move.
It’s difficult to emphasise how much fun this is, and how cool the effect is when you’re merrily commanding all and sundry around you. The Hi-Fi, the TV, the computer, the lights (if you’re fancy enough to have remote control lights), anything that needs flicking on or off in the room can be controlled by a wave of your wand. Indeed, if you’re even slightly interested in anything vaguely wizard-related then you owe it to yourself to get one of these – great fun, ingenious technology and an impressive effect. Top it off with a beautiful faux-dragonskin box with Chinese silk inlay and you’ve got a superb little package, perfect for the wannabe wizard in your life.
Features:
- The Wand Remote Control allows you to control remote devices with a swish.
- Most devices that use a remote control can be manipulated with the wand – TVs, Hi-Fis etc.
- Can control multiple devices, not limited to one.
- 13 commands in total can be learned by the Wand.
- Programme the wand by putting it in learning mode, performing an action and pressing the corresponding key on the remote control.
- Learns via infrared codes from remote control.
- Comes packaged in its own beautifully decorated case.
- Please note: instructions for the wand are only available in English.
Full range of actions:
- Rotate clockwise.
- Rotate anticlockwise.
- Flick upwards.
- Flick downwards.
- Flick left.
- Flick right.
- Tap on top.
- Tap on side.
- Double tap on top.
- Double tap on side.
- Push forward.
- Pull back.
- Big swish.
- Suitable for ages 8 years +, or anyone old enough to enrol at Hogwarts.
