Hi guys,
I affraid that i'm serious stuck at the two video's
Whatever I try, it looks like i'm to old nowadays.

I contacted support, they advised me to ask you guys to get my savegame file (found it) and play me the ^%$^%$$# video's and mail me the file back...

Well
Anyone that would like to do me this great favour.

You can contact me directly at jaba@xs4all.nl

TIA

We'd be happy to help.
What kind of computer are you playing on?  Also, please tell us what puzzle (you called it video?) are you stuck on.

The two videogames that have to be powered by that pedalthing...

I LOVE the puzzlepart of this game (53yrs old Scott Addams fan) but for some reason I don't manage to get past this.., old rusty bones :-)))

Got it.  Okay, click on this-> "Shared Machinarium .sol Files".  That will take you to the thread we have set up here that has a stash of saved game files called (aptly enough) "Machinarium .sol Stash"   

Depending on whether you're playing on a PC or MAC you'll want to visit either the: "Win FAQ" or the "Mac FAQ" to get instructions on how to substitute your current saved games file (named "machinarium.sol") with the "sol" file that starts you off just after the pedal puzzles.

You'll want #19 Elevator.  Once you swap out your machinarium.sol with the one from the .sol stash the video game pedal puzzles will be behind you and you can move ahead.

(BTW, 53 and still playing indie computer games?  I salute you!)

Ha
Years go by and the fox gets a bit grey but his mind won't change
I even still have my VIC20 around somewhere (probably hidden behind the C64 and 128D)

Allready figured out what/where the savegame file is,

so there is a collection of savegames...
I'll give that a shot.

BTW
My MAIN problem is that I just can get that videogame played with a mouse....
Gimme just my good ol' joystick back with wich I docked my spacecraft a million times to get ELITE without cheating.

psst
don't look at the gameroom of this gray ol' fox.

You can use the arrow keys and the space bar on your keyboard to play those games. That might help you out a little. ;o)

But in the mean time I'm through !!

Thanks.

Now stuck at a weird thing with lamps, lines and a button 
But THAT's can be solved by using the grey mass.

Good tip about the cursor keys.

Gramps did it be himself...

btw
