Does anyone remember this game?

[image loading]


Unfortunately the game was pretty much broken on newer computers. Faster CPU speeds meant that the puzzle would run super super fast when you told it to go. It was so annoying.

However, some company just released all 4 games in the series for $10! No more CPU problem, hooray!

Anyone else going to buy this?

Maybe, dunno. This brings back memories, since it was the first game I ever pirated. I gave my friend a floppy and he gave me a copy. DONT COPY THAT FLOPPEH!

I was too stupid to solve the puzzles back then, and I don't have time to solve them now >_< Life it seems is not without a sense of irony.

Last year I played through one of the newer versions of this game.

I originally played this on my first computer with WIN3.11 and it was awesome.

Oh my god, that was a long ass time ago. Great game!

The most fun part was to use the most complicated machines with electricity and shit. And make maps with people dying in different ways. Brutal experience in my childhood.

I loved this game. I remember I got a freeware version of Even More Contraptions free with some PC magazine I bought, I played that thing to death.
