Damn you m0ds ... DAMN YOU!!!

You've just contributed to me wasting hours and hours of my life!!!

But seriously!  I used to LOVE that game.  I remember coming home from school and playing that game over and over.  That and Space Quest.

Awesome link!

EDIT - Now if only somebody on here has an actual link to the game elFish ...

[Scummbuddy]

Awesome!  Thanks for that link!  I used to loveeee that game growing up, now I can play it once again.  And I probably wont go on my road trip tomorrow cause I'll be up all night getting that stupid ball to bounce just right.

[remixor]

That game was the shiznit back in the day.  I didn't realize it was that commonly played.  I wouldn't have played it were it not for my school.

[Pumaman]

Hehe, that game was so cool and yet so immensely frustrating at the same time. Ahhhh, memories

[Trapezoid]

I still have Incredible Machine 2. I'm pretty sure half the puzzles I made were designed to torture Mel Schlemming.

[jannar85]

Hah! That's nothing! I've played the beta!

TIM0!

Thanks for the link btw.. I have it already though...

[earlwood]

Cool! I can hit tiny kitties with bowling balls!

I played this like crazy back in the day.  I loved to make my own scenarios, which would most often be attempts at eternity machines.

I eventually created one, printed it and sent it to the nobel comitée, who sent some men in black suits to convince me I never succeeded, and that it was still impossible.

m0ds, I'd sing all my belongis over to you to show my gratitude, I've really missed this game, but that would include my computer, so I couldn't play it.... I remember not many years ago (like 6?) we got a really old 50 mhz machine with turbo button to make it 100, with win 3.11, and TIM, and I spent a LOT of time playing it...

[Evil]

I remember in the 1st grade I went over to my neighbors house, two highschool girls, and they showed my the original. Green, yellow, red, black. I think that was all of the colors. AH, how I missed that game. They lent it to me and I beat like half of it then I got angry and stopped playing. I have been looking for years to find this, I couldnt remember the name. Its nice to see it in more colors.

[Sylpher]

Heh, just played up to tut 40..I always wanted to playt his back in the day but never got a chance.

We should see who can make the most interesting machine...


Or not..

[Simple]

So who wants to find me a free mac version and be a hero?

I can't run it on my new computer...but my brain is already re-addicted to the thing.  God bless TIM.

[earlwood]

Aw, I tried to make perpetual motion, but I forgot this is TIM1 and TIM2 has more bouncy shit.  

[auhsor]

yup, that was an awesome game. I've got TIM: Even More Contraptions. Its pretty cool too.

Thats a cool site btw m0ds.

[Flippy_D]

I used to have the one with the gold motif and the weird blonde professor with the enlarged eyebrows... which one was that? Came free with Navigator in Win95.

Still, teh fun.

[m0ds]

I was listening to MIDI from a Sierra mini golf game (that I bought in France and is in French) and one midi file on the CD is called TIM. So that prompted me to search for the TIM midi to see if was similar. And found the game, w00t!

It reminds me a lot of the days when I didn't have a PC but my friends did, I'd go to one guys and play TIM, DOTT, Prince of Persia and Stunt Racer, then I'd go to my other friends house and play Lemmings 3D, LBA and Kingdom-o-Magic (plus consoles).

Ahh, what a warm memory all from just finding an old game Thanks for thanking me. I could've just posted up more pics of me getting hit by explosions.

Hey, hey, HEY!!!!

Set the system clock/date/whatever to October 31 or December 25, go into freeform mode and press the left arrow once...

[Ishmael]

Feb 14 gives one extra balloon, I belive...

[Ishmael]

Hey, m0ds, because of you I slept like 2 hours last night! Dammit! But I got some kinda nice contraptions together.. We really should have this competition about who makes the best one... Like MAGS is... there is a subject, like "Break the balloon, but don't use anything sharp" and then people would vote for who's is teh best... time would be like 1 ½ weeks, then take a few days to vote, then new competition announced... or something
