About

Niftee-Tron Aggrivator 1.0 is a deliberately confounding Macintosh puzzle by Charles Mangin (option8@mindspring.com), released as part of his Niftee-Tron line of small Mac diversions. The author set out to design a puzzle even he could not solve, then admitted (after the fact) to having cracked it exactly once.A Puzzle by DesignThe Aggrivator is a single-screen puzzle game with intentionally simple rules but a fiendishly difficult solution. As an extra twist, the author refuses to spell those rules out in the documentation and challenges players to deduce them through experimentation alone.Floppyware DistributionLike all Niftee-Tron creations, the Aggrivator is distributed as Floppyware: users are encouraged to copy it onto floppy disks and pass it freely to friends. There is no shareware fee; if the program raises a smile, the author asks only for an email at option8@mindspring.com.AuthorCharles Mangin, who self-identified as a terminal geek and mental hygienist, ran the Niftee-Tron mini-label out of option8.com and mentalhygiene.com. The Aggrivator was uploaded to the Info-Mac game archive as niftee-tron-aggrivator-10.hqx.
