New Mystery of Time and Space (MOTAS) rooms!
The excellent point-and-click game Mystery of Time and Space has been updated with new levels! Billed as an interactive graphic adventure, MOTAS is one of the best and most expansive room escape games on the web. It was also one of the earliest, dating back to the primitive internet era of 2002, just as humans were emerging from the forest and learning to walk on two legs, comb their hair, and hire lawyers.
Every so often the game's author, Jan Albartus, tacks on a few new levels to expand the experience. Each is crafted with unique puzzles and tough challenges to overcome, and an in-game save feature lets you take a break and pick up where you left off. There's even an online level editor to make your own rooms. Start playing and get entranced by one of the classics!

Once the correct code is entered, a panel will slide up. Put the MOTAS device in the insertion slot at the bottom of the panel without switching any of the switches. At this point the two bottom circles should be pointing to the MOTAS device, the top circle should be pointing down, and the little triangle switches should be down, up, down, up, down. The MOTAS device should float as soon as you put it in.
Now switch the switches again so that the two bottom circles of the panel are pointing toward the MOTAS device and the one on top is pointing upwards. The little triangle switches need to be up, down, up, down, up. When the MOTAS device is floating for the second time pick it up.
It's important to have the MOTAS device float twice, and I think you have to do it in this order. Otherwise you can go back to the screen with the alien, but time won't reverse when you click on the alien. [What confused me about the original walkthrough is that it doesn't make clear that the MOTAS device needs to float twice.]
Click on the MOTAS device, then click on the second orb.
Click on the alien and the UFO. The alien will get in and fly away. (because time is going backwards)
Click on the note it left behind.
