Late Night Reading

This will be a very short plan.
Last night I was reading through the latest issue of Computer Gaming World before going to watch an episode from the first season of "Lost in Space" (thanks NetFlix) with the kids. I turn the page and there is a game that Jeff and I did many years ago. I was very surprised and happy. :^)

Class games, certainly insipired me to work more on mine!
Actually, thats a bit disturbing really, the guys who wrote the games that inspire me are many of the guys I know now! :) small world I guess.

I remember sitting in my games shop and playing TIM alongside things like Commander Keen and Spear of Destiny/Wolfenstien.Class games, certainly insipired me to work more on mine!

When I worked at Sierra we used to set each other challenges every day with the 3 TIMs. Even still today it's a favourite for my casual gaming activities.I'm going to have to have a play around now. :)

I used to make hundreds of different machines in TIM, that all ended up shooting a cat. Congratulation, your place in this hall of fame is truly deserved...

I think I still have my TIM install floppy sitting around here somewhere ;) I still think it's one of the best games ever made.

Wow... me and my friends would spend HOURS playing T.I.M back in the day. It never got old, and the premade puzzles were excellent. I have yet to come across another game as addictive as this. And I played Everquest.

Did you work on The Incredible Toon Machine too? That's still one of my favorites!

I still have my original Incredible Machine 3.0 CD sitting right next to me on my desk... Those were the days...Did you work on The Incredible Toon Machine too? That's still one of my favorites!

@Mincetro
Chris Cole did Toons. I didn't have anything to do with it besides a few of the puzzles.
@Phil
I played quite a bit Keen thinking "The guys that made this are good. Wonder what they'll do next?"

I'm always kind of surprised when I hear that people have heard about TIM. My own 3 year old has been having fun playing it a lot lately and he was -11 years old when I made. @Mincetro

The Incredible Machine is one of my all time favorite games, and it was definitely one of the primary inspirations for TubeTwist. Congratulations, Kevin and Jeff!

My mother still has a version of TIM loaded on her computer at school, and her 6th graders still play it (if they can finish all their homework).

TIM is awesome. I picked up another copy last year (lost my old one) and ended up playing that while waiting for builds and syncs at work.
