Game Objective
While beating back the flames of a blazing fire in a vast shrinking plant, Shuffling Sid fell into the jaws of a powerful shrinking machine and, not surprisingly, was shrunk. To unshrink shrunken Shuffling Sid, stretch him! To do this you will have to find the five parts of the Stretching Rack and put them together. After which Shuffling Sid will return to his original size. Not all the objects that you find will be useful. Not all exits will be obvious - try jumping up through the ceiling of some rooms and they will lead into different areas of the factory - and some of your exits will not be open until you have found the right object to let you pass through. But most of all beware of the ghosts and ghouls that haunt the factory!
Can you unshrink shrunken Shuffling Sid?
