Return to your alma mater on Ditch Day and solve the traditional "stacks"---the stakes are more than just snacks, though.
How it begins
You are Doug Mittling, a 30-something mid-level manager in a large engineering firm, Omegatron. You've been sent to a client's plant to give a demonstration of one of Omegatron's products. The model you have is malfunctioning, however, and you need to fix it before the client turns to other suppliers.
Notable features
- A complete, context-sensitive hint system is included.
