* AllLovingHero: Mulle himself has a very chipper view of the world and people around him. This is especially pronounced in ''Upptäck rymden med Mulle Meck'': he seems perfectly fine with the idea of aliens visiting Earth on the basis that "a stranger is a friend you haven't gotten to know yet". The closest he comes to a negative opinion of anyone appears to be Erik Ersson, and even then he only calls him a JerkWithAHeartOfGold despite the latter not seeming to treat him with all that much respect.

'''Gary Gadget''' (''Mulle Meck'' in Swedish) is a series of Swedish children's games published books by Levande Böcker, based on a book series by Swedish the authors George Johansson and Jens Ahlbom, centered on Ahlbom. Despite the duo writing [[LongRunner 27 books in the series over the course of 17 years,]] the series is best known internationally for the six video games published by Levande Böcker between 1997 and 2004. While only one of the games got an English translation, several of the games got translations to Dutch, German, Russian and Finnish as well. (Since not every character in the series got a DubNameChange from the English version, this page will use Swedish names of characters unless otherwise noted.)

The series revolves around Mulle (aka. Gary), a man living with his dog Buffa somewhere in northern Sweden who likes collecting all kinds of junk, mostly old machinery, and then builds new machines (and even an house) out of them. The games loosely follow the first four books, and also introduce plenty of characters that Mulle has to help in some way, generally by either
building vehicles, and, in them something that will solve a problem or just performing {{Fetch Quest}}s.
