Personal review

Intuitive and loveable Rube Goldberg puzzle game, very interesting for young kids to improve in thinking out of the box.

Description

Undoubtedly one of the most unique games ever produced for the PC, The Incredible Machines 1 is a dream come true for anyone who as a child likes to tinker with gadgets and toys. It is a puzzle game par excellence and beyond: you have to use wacky gadgets and tools given for each level to accomplish objectives. Using animated parts, players need to assemble a Rube Goldberg-type contraption to solve a simple puzzle. A "design your own" option is also available where the player can design and activate his or her own wacky machine. Puzzles start out relaxing and get fiendish very quickly, as later levels require not only ingenuity but also precise timing. A true classic.
