Totally watching. I remember playing the crap out of this when I was a kid.

I want to see some childhood carnage myself.  Print screen isn't working for you?  It seems to capture an image as-is of the screen, and should give you quality equal to your resolution, unless quicktime does something very strange.

Print screen, open paint, Ctrl v, save, upload to your image hosting site of choice.  Alt+print gives you an image of the currently active window, so you won't need to crop out part of your desktop or anything.

Print Screen doesn't work quite as easily as you think, Girlinhat. For example, have you ever tried doing a print-screen of a video played in Windows Media Player? I have, it simply doesn't work. I wouldn't be surprised if Print Screen had some other quirks which make it unusable for this game.

I'll admit that I haven't toyed with it overly much, but it's done fine for me on different games.  But Quicktime is a hellhole all its own, so I don't doubt it.

So far, printscreen, FRAPs, and Greenshot have failed me.

Unless somebody has a rather clever way to pull screenshots or footage out of that godawful quicktime, this is going nowhere.

Have no idea if it will work, but you could try hypercam.

If all else fails, you could probably try Camstudio or VirtualDub. As far as I know, those don't even recognize which windows have games running in them (unlike Fraps) and they should record absolutely anything on screen or in a rectangle.
Then again, Print Screen should do exactly that, too, and that didn't work...

Anyway, both Camstudio and VirtualDub are free, so it's worth a try!

Oh man this game... 8-year-old me was very frustrated by some of the higher level puzzles. Curse you, pizza troll trifecta! :shakes fist:

I remember when I discovered a glitch on the Zoombini group creation screen that let me create pairs of identical zoombinis if I double-clicked the "create zoombini" button. This made the puzzles much easier, and through careful zoombini management I would abuse the storage points to create groups of identical zoombinis. I was such a little exploit-monger...

I will observe with great interest and trepidation.

EDIT: So I got this game working on my laptop, but the game isn't allowing me to use combinations that have been used before. I swear that I remembered doing this. Huh.
