DEVIOUS DESIGNS =============== Dr.Devious, the world renowned abstract scientist, has gone insane! No one really minded when wild geometric cloud formations appeared over his laboratory, however, there were a few objections when the Pentagon became a square and the Kremlin was cubed! Dr.Devious' obsession stems back to his acquisition of a cubist painting by Picasso which he hung in his Laboratory. He was so inspired by this painting that his love for geometric forms became a obessive. Then, one morning, a sinister idea leapt into his mind, he would invent a machine that could cube the Earth! But before he can implement his plan, he has to experiment, so he tests his machine on world famous structures and objects. When he is satisfied with his machine he intends to proceed with his evil master plan. You play J.J. Maverick - the only person that can stop the Doctor cubing the World!
