back when i was in elementary, when internet wasn't yet a necessity, i played this game. it wasn't the kind of thing you'd think a girl would want to play, since it was a building game. you build ridiculously complicated machines to be able to do something ridiculously simple, like "put the ball into the hoop", and i was so hooked onto it. i could play it for hours and hours and hours until my mom would get mad.

recently i downloaded it again, and i was shocked to find out that it was actually a DOS program. you don't see that often anymore. and after a hard time trying to figuro out how to run it again (actually after my sister had a hard time figuring it out :p) i finally started playing.

i still loved it.

i loved thinking of how to accomplish the ridiculously simple tasks. i loved building the machines. i loved everything about it.

maybe i'm still just a kid at heart. maybe i just love games. but sometimes i like to think that this was what i was made to do. sometimes i try to believe that i really was meant to be an engineer, and i made the right course choice three years ago.
