Dude, Aaron! Gizmos and Gadgets was the BEST computer game ever. I played that so much. To this day I can hum all the songs and make all the sound effects. Tossing bananas at cyberchimps and then robbing them in their fruit-induced sleep...gears...kinetic energy...simple machines...ascending levels in the warehouse via updrafts and bungee pads...building vehicles...so much fun. Except for that stupid hyper-sensitive magnet mapping puzzle (do you remember that one? I swear analog computer mice lacked the precision to do those well. Or so I tell myself).
On a related note, did you play Logical Journey of the Zoombinis? That's another classic from my childhood that involved guiding these little blue critters with varying footwear, nose color, eyes, and hair through awesome logic puzzles. I imagine it would appeal to the Gizmos and Gadgets crowd. Also, I can mimic all the sound effects from that game too ("FLEENS?! You're not FLEENS!"; "Hip hip, Zooombiiiniii!"; I could go on).
Gizmos and Gadgets!

I'm going to go play some Zoombini.
