I'm thinking about replaying Baldur's Gate 2. That game was super fun. Also, if I get into the beta for Good Old Games I may try out Jagged Alliance 2.

Yeah, I've played through all the levels like 5 times on my breaks this past week. I'm going through them now trying to do it with as few parts as possible.

Level 1, 0 parts
Level 2, 2 parts
Level 3, 2 parts
Level 4, 5 parts
Level 5, 6 parts
Level 6, 5 parts
Level 7, 4 parts
Level 8, 3 parts

I am having to work at level 15: "Down Under"... The earlier similar level :around teh bend wasn't bad, I am going to need a different approach for this one. "Four balls" was fun. I tried a couple approaches until I hit upon the simple solution.

May have to go back and try Scott's minimalist approach.

Here's how I did it the 1st time around... but I'm having a bitch of a time "minimalizing" it.

Here is level 2 with only one part sort of... I swear it goes in the goal, but doesn't register.

http://FantasticContraption.com/?designId=383146

Thanks Scott, but I am not looking at other's solutions until I am successful at all levels.

I did it his way the 1st time, then tried a bunch of time to do it your way and never got the timing right.

Here's my minimal version, 11 parts:

Level 17 "handling" 5 Pieces. I could do it in 4 by dumping the front wheel, but it will take forever to find the perfect length for the front "fork" in drag mode.

I got it in 4.

I think I must have played with Legos more that you Dean... or at least I ran out of pieces more often than you did.
