I am sure there are a few of you out there that remember this gme from ur younger days.

I loved it and want to use it in my classroom with my students. I have been told that there is an online browser based version of it. But have not been able to find it.

I have found games similar to it, such as blueprint, but it is not quite the same, not as much creativity involved.

Was wondering if anyone out there has seen it or come across it.

thanks

Is this the one? Not a browser run but free download. I didn't test it though.

malasuerte · 04-17-2009, 06:48

yes thats the one. but I am not sure that there is legal to download it like this.

BTW found another interesting game to teach physics. Is not online but is free for non-comercial use.
