 ====== Indirect Control ======
 Consider the following three categories of **indirect control** within videogames:
+~~NOTOC~~
-  -In which the player guides non-player avatars/agents through programmed tasks, as in //The Incredible Machine// and //Lemmings//;
+  - In which there are one or more non-player actors which, when given a command by the player, are expected to respond in a predictable manner (barring simulations of mood/trust/etc. that may have them act otherwise), as in //Lemmings//, //Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures// and //Hey You, Pikachu!// ([[#1|examples]]);
-  -In which a player character or environment under the player's direct control is used to direct a dependent object, as in //Bubble Ghost// and //Cameltry//; and
+  - In which a player character or environment under the player's direct control is used to direct a dependent object, as in //Bubble Ghost// and //Cameltry// ([[#2|examples]]); and
-  -In which a player character controls //its own// player character(s) without that control transfered directly to the player—those with a secondary player character (SPC), perhaps, that borrows the will of the player character, instead of (directly) that of the player. Examples include //Illbleed//, //Mischief Makers// and //Shadow of the Colossus//.
+  - In which a player character controls //its own// player character(s) without that control transfered directly to the player—those with a secondary player character (SPC), perhaps, that borrows the will of the player character, instead of (directly) that of the player. Examples include //Illbleed//, //Mischief Makers// and //Shadow of the Colossus// ([[#3|examples]]).
