New Vista Ultimate Extra: Microsoft Tinker Game

Published by techspotlight at 12:05 am under Windows Vista Edit This

Users of Windows Vista Ultimate now have a new game available to play through Windows Ultimate Extras Update.  Microsoft Tinker is a logic based game that is controllable with a keyboard or gamepad.  The game has excellent 3D graphics and very smooth, soft and pleasurable background music.  Tinker comes with 60 different board sets and the option of creating custom stages with a separate level editor that is available to download.

You control a spunky robot and must land on a spinning red and white disc to complete the level.  While navigating through stages, you can move certain blocks, use switches and raise platforms with the goal being to reach the destination in the least amount of moves while maintaining the robot’s energy.

If you get stuck on a certain level their are hints that can be provided and even a solution if you are so inclined.  Microsoft Tinker is quite entertaining if you enjoy logic and thinking games.  If you already have Windows Vista Ultimate installed it is well worth the free download provided via the Update section in Windows.  At least we get something for spending the extra money on the Ultimate Edition.

    I don’t have the Ultimate version, at least I don’t think I do! Everyone said when I got my new laptop that I would hate Vista. You know what??? They were right! I would do anything to go back to my XP! It makes way more sense to me than the way Vista is set up!

    It’s a beautiful game, the graphics are very aesthetic, and the music is very very nice even after an hour of playing. I’m just totally impressed with the graphics, they are so smooth and nice. Kind’a easy though, I expected a little more challenge, but i’ts worth playing, especially since it’s free. Did I mention that it’s beautiful?

    I recently installed Vista Ultimate and i must say its simply awesome. I dont understand why people like “Kristy” are always whining about Vista?? upgrade ur hardware dude, and then take some time to read and learn how vista works, things are different in vista, get used to it, u cant expect it to be exactly same as XP

    Usually the people that have an issue with Vista are the ones that most often suffer the PEBCAC errors. (Problem Exists Between Chair and Computer). This game is a great time waster, and the music is catchy.
