![]() In terms of gameplay, this version provided the biggest addition to the series, and subsequent updates were basically only ports of the game to newer operating systems with updated graphics/sounds and sometimes new puzzles, but no new parts. It improved on the "freeform" mode, allowing players to create completely playable puzzles by defining not only the participating parts, but also the set of circumstances under which the puzzle will be considered "solved". The Incredible Machine 2 introduced new levels, an extended assortment of parts, a new interface, significantly improved graphics, sounds, and music, and two player hotseat play. The Incredible Machine and Even More Incredible Machine The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions ( 2001, Microsoft Windows/Macintosh)Ī compilation called The Incredible Machine Mega Pack was released in 2009 on GOG.com for Microsoft Windows that included The Even More Incredible Machine, The Incredible Machine Version 3.0, Return of the Incredible Machine: Contraptions, and The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions.Return of the Incredible Machine: Contraptions ( 2000, Microsoft Windows/Macintosh).The Incredible Machine Version 3.0 ( 1995, Microsoft Windows/Macintosh).The Incredible Machine 2 ( 1994, DOS/ Microsoft Windows, Macintosh).Arthur to Astaroth no Nazomakaimura: Incredible Toons ( 1996, PlayStation/ Sega Saturn).The Incredible Toon Machine ( 1994, Microsoft Windows, Macintosh).Sid & Al's Incredible Toons ( 1993, DOS).The Incredible Machine ( 2011, Apple iPad).The Even More Incredible Machine ( 1993, DOS/ Microsoft Windows, Macintosh).The Incredible Machine ( 1993, DOS/ 3DO).The series includes four core titles and a "Toon" spin-off, with multiple iterations published of the earliest titles: The engine does not use a random number generator in its physics simulation, ensuring that the results for any given machine are reproducible. Notably, the games simulate not only the physical interactions between objects but also ambient effects like varying air pressure and gravity. There is also a "freeform" option that allows the user to "play" with all the objects with no set goal or to also build their own puzzles with goals for other players to attempt to solve. ![]() The levels usually have some fixed objects that cannot be moved by the player, and so the only way to solve the puzzle is to carefully arrange the given objects around the fixed items. ![]() For example, mice will run towards nearby cheese. Available objects range from simple ropes and pulleys to electrical generators, bowling balls, and even cats and mice to humans, most of which have specific interactions with or reactions to other objects. The general goal of the games is to create a series of Rube Goldberg devices: arrange a given collection of objects in a needlessly complex fashion so as to perform some simple task (such as "put the ball into a box" or "start a mixer and turn on a fan").
