Automania – Build Six Car Parts Before the Factory Beats You | C64

Released in 1984 by Mikro-Gen for the Commodore 64, Automania (also known as Manic Mechanic) is a fast-paced arcade platformer starring the unlucky Wally Week. You’re dropped onto a chaotic car assembly line with one job: build cars piece by piece before time runs out. Each level tasks you with collecting six scattered car parts and placing them in the correct positions on the production line. The challenge comes from the factory itself, packed with lethal hazards including rogue robots, bouncing tyres, and spinning air blades that demand sharp timing and precise movement. As the game progresses, layouts become more complex and the pressure ramps up, turning every run into a test of memory, reflexes, and nerve. There’s no combat here—survival is all about learning the patterns and keeping one step ahead of the machinery.
