Remember that old game The Incredible Machine?

[Gaard]

I enjoy those type of games...Incredible Machine, Chip's Challenge, Oxyd Magnum, etc. Anymore like it out there?

Ok, the real reason I posted this is because I'm stuck on a level of Incredible Machine and was wondering if anyone could help me out. I can't figure out Level 20 (Bridging the Gap).

oops.. good game..

Is that the one where you need the bowling ball on the other side?

Place the first seesaw like this / with the lower edge even with the bottom of the initial downslope.
Put the extra ramp piece in the first gap
You should be able to figure out where the rope goes.

If you are wondering how I got this from memory, I just downloaded the game today from the underdogs and got to level 30

FYI Amazon has a 2-disc jewel case for $7 (!) with the last 2 games in the series, Return of the Incredible Machine / Even More Incredible Machines. A great stocking stuffer though it says W98/ME so I don't know how well they'll run in XP. ASIN: B000078COS or search "incredible" in Software.

yeah, the incredible machine was awesome,
also smart games was good too. I recall they offered a prize for the first person in the world to finish it 100%

Man, me and my brother would play tim2 for ages. I even remember making levels for that game - it was the best. I especially remember making a level where I had the girl get squished by a bowling ball or something - pretending as if it was the teacher that me and my friends all hated.

I need to dig out that cd and play it again.

:beer: for OP!

no worky in xp

Aha!! Silly me. I didn't realize you could lengthen and shorten the ramp sections. That makes all the difference.

The Incredible Machine was an awesome game for kids.

yeap, my bro is right...it was awesome. You could even listen to the soundtrack because it secretly (I think) had CD audio...there was also this one bonus remix track of the song "Hip-Hop", and I always thought my brother just added the song on there...but boy, was that one of the greatest games i've ever played.
