My first contact with the Incredible Machine series was not through any of the games inside this pack, no. My first contact was with a demo of Sid & Al's Incredible Toons which was an off-shoot of the TIM series. I loved the demo to bits but at the time, I lacked the funds to buy many games and I had to pass it up for other classics such as Duke Nukem 3D and Lucas Arts adventure games.
Several years later, I bought The Incredible Machine 3 at a bargain price and got fell in love again. The earlier puzzles are quite easy but figuring out the solution to the later ones can be very tricky and that's where the fun is: being challenged and enjoy seeing your machine work!
Seeing this pack makes it an immediate buy for me, because of the tremendous value for money. If only they had added Sid & Al Incredible Toons and made it a complete pack ....
