Description from the packaging.

Design, build and test your own real inventions.

Greetings gizmo-lovers! I'm Doc Howard and I'll be your guide to all the gadget-building thrills of Invention Studio. But don't let the pocket protector fool you. It's also my job to make suer you have more fun than you can shake a fully loaded centrifuge at. Get set to boldly invent where no kid has invented before.

The only CD-ROM that turns you into a real inventor.

Welcome to the hands-on, build-it-yourself world of Invention Studio, the only interactive CD-ROM that turns you into a real inventor. Packed with awesome machines to make and mind-boggling games to play, Invention Studio is a fabulous, gadget-filled, fully-equipped, virtual testing ground and patent office. With the help of your brainy but off-beat host, Doc Howard, in no time at all you'll be researching, designing, building and testing out your very own outrageously incredible inventions!

Over in the Garage, you can build working models of ground and air transport vehicles as you go from blueprint to functioning 3-D images.

Step into the Gadgetorium to build a moving gadget. Make it big, small, complex or just plain wacky. Create a blueprint and watch your device come to life.

When you're ready, test out your own invention and go for the highest score:

• Go head to head with a friend.
• Win a trophy and move up in the ranks.
• Build millions of cool vehicles and billions of wacky gadgets.

Once your invention is finished, patent your creation just like a real inventor.

In the Machine Shop, construct real machines, from a toaster to a robot DJ.

Fire up power sources including wind and solar energy in the powerhouse arcade game.

Parental Caution: Invention Studio may lead to pronounced enhancement of your child's powers of creativity and problem solving.
