OK, this is an old one and I don't have a screenshot.
It was an old physics game (like late 90s).
You had to get a ball into a cup. Each level was one screen.
You had to use things like desk fans, light switches, candles, balloons, gears, pulleys, ropes, trampolines, etc...
For example....
You would place a match on the screen which would fall down and strike against something that would light it then it would light the candle which would start to burn the rope. When the rope burnt through it would fly up and flick a switch that you had attached to a fan using a wire. The fan would turn on and blow the ball off its platform, it would bounce on the trampoline that you placed and then land in the cup.

http://www.myabandonware.com/game/I've never downloaded anything from that site so can't vouch for its safety btw  I'm going to certainly give some a go at the weekend.

Cool! I'm downloading Boxer as a DOSBox frontend and I'll give some of these games a go if it works OK. Might start with Wolfenstein 3d
