What kid wouldn't appreciate a workshop full of widgets? No kid I'd approve of, that's for sure. One of the lesser-known titles from Maxis Kids, Widget Workshop is a neat little introduction to science and zaniness!

I played this back in the day. On my dad's Mac. I remembered it as being an awesome game. So I decided to look for a video about it, and found this. Great video.
I recently re-installed it (today) and guess what? It IS an awesome game. lol
I installed the Windows version onto my new Mac with Wine. It works so perfectly, I'm gonna be ditching TF2 for a month to play this.
Today I made a working 2. 3 octave piano with a drum kit.
I could do a 3 octave piano, but then no drums. lol

Excellent as usual! And what a cool game, this must be my favorite edutainment title of all the ones you have edutained us with. Being able to turn your completed designs into a shareable executable is such a smart feature!
Oh, and the music at the end sounds like. Zool. 2? Can't place the tune though, it might just be some of the samples in there that I've heard in Zool 2 on the Jaguar. Just sounds Zooly.

LGR, I have to thank you for reminding me of one of my favorite games growing up as a little kid. I had completely forgotten about this, but after seeing it, I remember a bit. I think I also remember me liking the menu music and arguing about it with my sister because she didn't like it. I think the last time I even THOUGHT about this game, let alone play it, was about 15 years ago. NOW I FEEL OLD!

I'm sure someone has already posted this, but.
GET MAD! demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Lauren IAlreadyForgotHisLastName lemons, do you know who he is? (me neither. But he'll burn your house down. With lemons. And science. And. Widgets.
Combustible widgets.

I was totally addicted to this game as a kid since I had a copy of it. Unfortunately, that CD broke. But a few years ago I found it online and bought it immediately, so now I have it again!
I'm a Swede btw, and the Swedish version of this is called -Uppfinnarverkstan- (meaning -Inventor's Workshop-.

HOLY SHIT, FINALLY. AFTER OVER 15 YEARS I'VE FINALLY FOUND THE NAME OF THE GAME FROM MY CHILDHOOD! This game has been on my mind since I played it at the age of 6, I've never forgotten what it was, only the name. And only rediscovering it all these years later feels wonderful.

When I was a kid my parents bought me the Maxis Kids pack for our family's PC. I probably had the most fun with the games in the pack. It came with Widget Workshop, SimTunes, SimTown, and SimAnt. Let me tell you I was a happy child after opening that box!

I used to play this all the time as a kid in the 90s. I had a compaq presario that had just enough ram to run this and simcity. I loved it though, I didn't have access to the internet and this was the only thing that kept me entertained for hours.
