The Incredible Machine

[remm]

The Incredible Machine is a great DOS game, which I have recently rediscovered.
Free Download.

The premise is that you are given a set of parts to a half completed machine, and you have to finish building it to get a specific objective.
There is also a freeform mode, where you have an unlimited supply of all the pieces.
The pieces are all simple mechanical interactions, ie: ball lands on see-saw, tipping it, causing a rope attached to one end fire a gun via a pulley.





Unfortunately I cannot get any screenshots of some of my creations.



Free Download.
So tell me what you think of it, and show us some of your own freeform creations.



These are some of mine that I created in the past few days. They are by no means artistic, and are a bit messy, but they are very fun to create.
Bully Freeform Machine
Jockey Freeform Machine
First Freeform Machine
Note: to view these attached files, just paste them into the main folder, with the default freeform creations.
And I have had to host the files via mediafire because the .TIM extension is not allowed on the forums, it seems.

They have a modernization of this on Steam called "Crazy Machines". Very fun.

Sounds a lot like Fantastic Contraption.

I still have The Incredible Toon Machine CD lying around somewhere (sequel, I think. Maybe prequel?). Some of my fondest memories from back when.

Ohmy, does this bring back memories of my dad and I trying to outsmart each other. Thank you rem. :)

EDIT: I'm going back home today, and I think I'll try to dig up a little booklet which has all the cheat codes and walkthrough stuff which came with the CD.
