I see that mazes are popular ;-)

In the first picture, is that a labyrinth table or a maze table?

And what's the goal of the Q-BA-MAZE 2.0? Build an incredible maze, get trapped and never get out? :lol:

Also good to see that Carrera is still there; brings back good memories from my childhood. I loved to race my Carrera cars.

It is not too often you get to see Pac Man walking down an escalator when it isn't Halloween!

It's a marble track.

Also, there was this interesting mechanism, but I am not sure
how the inventor of it can transform it into a puzzle.

PS. We enjoyed a lot that marble track... we were throwing marbles
from far away towards the top, and it ALWAYS ended inside one of the tracks! LOL :lol:

Yes, and I wondered what that could be.

It is an improved, neater, and more robust version of ESR's game/puzzle/computer
"Amazing Dr Nim":

Wow, hopefully that new Dr. Nim is available soon. It's got to be one of the most clever minimalistic computer programs ever!

Oh, no puzzle

But seems to be a fun game. :wink:

I picked up a copy of that one at the HKTGF in January. It's about 1/2 the size of the original. As you said, it is a nice game to play. Made by popular playthings. I show it in a video of the toys I picked up in January on my YouTube channel.

The answer already exists at my website with a hidden message.
(of course, you have to find it yourself)

It means whatever you want it to mean - just make sure it means something to somebody.
