keyboard support are included.\u00a0 Press F4 to enter fullscreen mode.<\/p>\n<p>Download Mechatropolis for free right here:<\/p>\n<p><big><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Install_Mechatropolis_1.1.exe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mechatropolis (Installer)<\/a><\/strong><\/big><\/p>\n<p><big><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mechatropolis.7z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mechatropolis (7z file)<\/a><\/strong><\/big><big><\/big><\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the other video games I&#8217;ve made too, and the content I&#8217;ve created for other video games.\u00a0 Click on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gratuitousscience.com\/?page_id=12095\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Video Games<\/a> link on the bottom-right of the page.<\/p>\n<p>And now, for those who aren&#8217;t used to downloading 7z files from the internet, here is a little explanation of just what to do with them so you can get Mechatropolis up and running.<\/p>\n<p>7-Zip is a free and open source compression and archive tool.\u00a0 It&#8217;s mainly used to extract 7z files, which are similar to zip or rar archive files.\u00a0 Windows 11 supposedly can open 7z files like it handles zip files, so you can skip this step if you&#8217;re using Windows 11.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using Windows 10 or older, then follow these steps.\u00a0 First, go to the 7-Zip.org website here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.7-zip.org\/download.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.7-zip.org\/download.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since my games are for Windows only, you&#8217;ll want to download one of the Windows versions of 7-Zip.\u00a0 Once you have installed 7Zip on your PC, you can then double click on the &#8220;Mechatropolis&#8221;
