Hey,
I've been trying to find a certain game i used to play as a kid and have had no luck for many years, so turning to the CS community for that final help hopefully.
From what i rememeber it was called Tim2 or something similar, and was on a disc, an orange disc, that had 100 little games on it if you like, the disc was amazing it had like transport tycoon and settlers on it, which for its time was sooo addictive. And on this disc was a game called Tim2.
Basically it was l a mechanic game, where you have like a loads of objects such as lasers, mirrors, fans, pumps, bulbs, balls, everything practically and for example you like connected a circuit up, and some cogs move and the lazer popped the baloon which was connected to a wire, then the wire dropped and hit a ball of something else, onto something else, and basically to me was really education.
I've been trying to find this game for years! and have failed horrible, ive got transport tycoon now and just reminded me of what it was like back in the day.
Please help CS

Sorry for the hi-jack but I've got one as well - Tonka game where you control all sorts of diggers and dumptrucks etc. Played it years ago and I can't find any traces of it online. Anyone ever heard of it?

Job done for the incredible machine...
Looks like you might need to use Dosbox with it though, but that's not overly difficult

Looks like there's tons of Tonka games about, but they're still licensed, so might struggle getting them for free

ok, unzip TIM to c:\tim2
open dosbox
on the dos prompt type
mount c: c:\tim2
then c:
then tim2
and it should run
Works on mine, just really slow, need to alter the framerate a bit, but can't remember how to do that
