Took years to remember what the name of this game was. We use to play this at school all the time. It was amazing! The platforming with building of the box cart was what we all tried to do to get the fastest one to get to the next level.
6th grade, on the computer in the back of the classroom is where I first played Gizmos & Gadgets. My two most prominent memories are the excitement of winning a race, and my hatred of the magnet puzzles.
I loved this game. It was one of the few games I was allowed to play when I was young and I think it helped me a lot. It made me like education. I wish my son could play this.

One of the early computer games we got at home, educationally fun, lots of memories of my brother and I making box cars xD. I wonder where my Pops got this game.

Gruntz
GruntzTake control of the Gruntz, a lovable and annoying batch of creatures trying to find their way home. After fleeing through a wormhole to avoid an attack by their evil cousins, the Disgruntled, they are stranged in a strange world and have to fight their way back home. The game is half-puzzle, half-strategy. Your Gruntz move around the map collecting items, activating switches and killing Disgruntledz. The overall goal in the single player, or Questz, game is to recover 36 pieces of the warpstone. There are four pieces scattered in each of 8 different worlds. Each level requires you to retrieve the warpstone piece and take it to the Gruntz king on that level.
