The Incredible Machine Mega Pack

This has been a long time coming. These originals are the best of the Rube Goldberg puzzlers, and the challenges are absolutely brilliant.

As others have mentioned, the sound files (at least for The Incredible Machine 3) have been completely screwed up from the originals; I didn't realize this until I started playing, though. Some of the music soundtrack sounds like a complete nightmare. It's very disappointing to go through the trouble to purchase the pack, only to have it all messed up.

Clever puzzles, awesome pieces like a monkey on a bicycle, a quirky mix of sound effects and music... A timeless classic that can still easily consume hours of my time even over a decade and a half after its original release. Easily worth the $10 asking price. I would have paid twice that in a heartbeat.

i remember this when i was at school we had a a whole computer room and on every machine was the incredible machine i sure had a blast playing it

What? You want a real review? .. Well, I suppose I can do that, but I assure you that you will have a lot more fun dropping bowling balls on cats than you will reading this review. A long time ago, I remember wasting many hours playing The Incredible Machine solving puzzles well in to the hundreds. Then, I got a legit version of The (Even More) Incredible Machine.. Not only did I have hundreds of new puzzles, and dozens of new items.. but I also had the editor! I would build complex machines to do things like drop bowling balls on cats, in space. The physics of the game are, of course a bit dated due to, well.. it's a bloody old game, which means of course that they are predictable. Things always work a certain way, and you have to figure out how to use the known mechanics paired with a small selection of items to form a complex Rube-Goldberg esque contraption to do something remarkably simple, like drop a bowling ball on a cat, in space, without breaking a fish bowl. The later games in the series aren't AS good, but they're still fun silly games to play. They try to explain why you're making wacky machines to do strange things like dropping a bowling ball on a cat, in space to knock it in to a teeter-totter, while not breaking a fishbowl. If you like silly puzzle games, or just like the idea of dropping bowling balls on to cats, it's well worth the $10 just to get the original TIM, everything else is just a bonus!
