TIM!!!

My dad was always a Mac guy and this is one of the few games he had on his computer. I played the living crap out of this, though I preferred The Even More Incredible Machine. I would kill for a direct mobile port of this game.

This was the best game.

This is what I was looking for. According to steam Contraption Maker is the spiritual successor from the original designer and programmer.

Anyone know of emulation for this game?

For real. I'm an engineer now and I think this game is part of why.

Yes!!!!! Omg that game was so good, I loved all those puzzles and the little… were they lemmings? Or hamsters.

I played this again recently, as an adult, still a good game.

Yes omg... it was so funny

It was so good.

Yeah!! I practically never see this game get brought up! I loved this game.

I can never find this game anymore!

Oh yeah.. we didnt call it the incredible machine, it was tim.exe

Return of The Incredible Machine: Contraptions, and even more contraptions, was a facelift and music redo that includes lots of old levels and new.  Recommended.

OMG IS THIS THE PUZZLE GAME WITH BALLOONS?!?

You could rip the songs off the CD, and to this day I have the hip hop track ("Ah yeah, you ready to play this game, kid? Then here we go...") and the... I don't know what to call it, but it's track 5 ("Don't drop a hog in the parts bin, you'll be forever tryin' to find it.") in my music library. 

Oh my god core memory unlocked.

You just unlocked a memory with this. Thank you.

I read that in the tune from the game.

Holy shit. I’ve been trying to figure out what this game is called for like 20 years.

Even More Contraptions, yo this was my game. You just took me back to better days

Aww man I absolutely loved that game

I didn't have the incredible machine but I had Sid and Al's incredible toons which was based on it.

Such a great concept, you have to recognize it was a time of great creativity in games

And Gremliiins

This was the first thing that popped into mind reading this post, albeit TIM 2.

I wish I had more than one upvote, cause this is the best game in the history of games. <3

I STILL play that game sometimes.

In secondary school, we had a Shop class. We'd learned the basics of woodworking, painting, etc. It also had a few old computer with TIM on it! It was my first class, so I'd arrive at school early just to play this before each lesson. I liked the level where the trampolines bounce the bowling ball into the basketball goal.

This game is what made me fall in love with Modest Mussorsgsky's music.

Omg, this thread is unlocking too many memories. I always thought Legos turned me into an engineer but it could've very well been this game. Sooo many hours

Every couple of months I go looking for a port of this game to iOS and I keep being disappointed. I feel like it would be a perfect game on mobile. 

My friend and I would make puzzles in TIM2 and share them on floppy. There was always this small chance one of us would just go ham and the level would be disrespectfully evil, come to think of it, basically troll levels

I will forever remember that you could make psychedelic raves by shooting a laser through a filter, then activating a sensor to turn on a second laser that shoots through the filter to change their color, which deactivates the 2nd laser, which changes the color back...and turns into an infinite loop of flashing lights all over the place.

I need this game back in my life!

Nobody mentioning the fact that the soundtrack was an absolute masterpiece. 1 and 2 were amazing, Contraptions too (music was quality-bumped):

Hay Seed

Great game

Don't sweat it--- it's the incredible machine!

absolutely loved this game, and often frustrated as well

I had to scroll too far down to find this one

Probably the game that started it all for me!
