About The Incredible Machine

The Incredible Machine presents a series of puzzles solved by building chain-reaction devices. Players are provided with various components like ropes, balls, and seesaws to arrange on a playfield.

Each scenario has a straightforward goal, such as activating a fan or moving an object to a specific location. Success requires the assembled parts to work in sequence once the machine is started. Some puzzles introduce variables like altered gravity or air pressure, which can make them more challenging.

Beyond the predefined puzzles, a separate mode allows for unrestricted creation. Here, an unlimited supply of parts can be used to design original contraptions, and these custom machines can be saved to a disk file.
