The Incredible Machine

[Guru]

Some time ago (several computers ago actually!) I had a copy of this game, but I haven't got it anymore.

I want it!

Anybody got a copy? (complete with the list of codes to activate it please!)

Thanks

Mr Guru

Hey I have a copy of Incredible Machine TWO . The only problem is that it is on a COMPRESSED diskette. Having Windows XP I cannot read the old Windows 98 DRIVESpace compression. I'll throw it in a 98 machine tomorrow and upload it for ya. Later.

Just go to yahoo and do a search for 'basic games'

You'll get tons. I had this one a couple years back...it was great. You played an angry student and threw grenades at the principal...heheheh.

If anyone finds 'Dogfight' (was on the BBC), let me know...

DontSpoze....


Any idea if any of them old games have been converted for use with PC's ??

[HarryW]

Unfortunately, that's not it. Thanks anyway though.

[aknisely]

You realize that every BASIC programmer under the age of forty probably has a game called "dogfight."

[spetnik]

the links for TIM arent working :'( (even if i click 'save as'. can anyone help?

[HarryW]

I can live in hope can't I?

[mlewis]

I got my copy on a CD at a CompUSA clearout...perhaps similar copies are floating around.

Sorry don't have it on me; I'm away from home on a business trip...

Besides, its about 250 MB -- not a fun download no matter what bandwidth you have...

[aknisely]

Bah! I downloaded a trial of SQL Server 2K and it only took me... 2 hours for 300 mb.

[HarryW]

Oracle 8i (personal edition or something... got it from their site) for NT was about 400 Mb and took about 4 hours for me.

[mlewis]

Yah but that's on what kind of connection?

I remember the [not so] good old days with 36kbps dialin...it took an hour and a half to download 2 MB !!!!!!

[aknisely]

DSL. My connection with MS download servers runs at about 250Kbps. *tries to resist Tim Allen impression*

[mlewis]

ADSL or ISDL?

250 MEGS FOR TIM!?!??!?!?!??!

[mlewis]

its not just TIM--its TIM2!

[spetnik]

ah... and what does it do so special that makes it 500 times larger than tim 1?

[mlewis]

Cmon, you have to have noticed! Its a special formula first used by microsoft:

Size of new version = Size of old version * (Number of New features + 1000)

This way it seems like the new version is more special and powerful!
