Summary: fun puzzles
Comment: My son learned about this game in school. He liked it so we got one for home. The puzzles are fun to solve--they teach the player to solve a problem using a selection of tools. In a way it's similar to computer programming--it allows you to connect tools with different functions to create something unique to solve a problem.

Summary: Great for application and synthesis!
Comment: My children, ages 9 and 11, have played this game up to the medium level. My 9 year old son is almost done with the medium level and is ready to move to the next. The Rube Goldberg puzzles give the opportunity for the kids to be creative while continually thinking of cause and effect relationships. As the parent, I am amazed at how quickly the children can solve the problems!! They are better at it than me.

I haven't seen my son since he got this game for Christmas. I hear, "Mom! I made another gizmo!" all day long.

Summary: Excellent Mind Bender
Comment: This is an excellent program to stretch the limits of your mind. The easy puzzles are okay for children, but the advanced are definitely for teen to adult. The graphics are a little retro. And the CD must be left in the drive while playing (there is a No-CD patch available at [...]).

Summary: THE INCREDIBLE MACHINE IS INCREDIBLE!!
Comment: I found The Incredible Machine back in 1992 when it was first released. I was so disappointed when I ran out of new puzzles!! Then they brought out another pack of additional puzzles and I was off again! Very disappointed when I ran out of puzzles again! I just recently discovered that there was a NEW T.I.M. 3.0, so I purchased that also! It took me about a month of part-time play to complete the 166 puzzles in 3.0 and I was disappointed again because I had no more puzzles to solve. Then I discovered "T.I.M.~ Even more contraptions". I am in "Hog Heaven" again! This program is the best I've ever purchased! Great for kids and adults also. Great to work together with your kids too! Each player can have their own 'account' so you can compare each player's progress and share hints and tricks with your family as you move along. The puzzles teach a little bit of physics, a lot of logic and best of all, a LOT of FUN!! Besides the fun, it teaches the players how to USE THEIR BRAIN for something other than devising ways to KILL opponents. I rate this program 'GE' for Generally Everyone, 'GFF' for Great Family Fun and 'GBE' for Great Brain Exercise. Unlike most of the games written for the computer generation, this one has ABSOLUTELY NO BLOOD AND GUTS and nobody gets hurt or killed, unless you get a stitch in your side from laughing so much, or fall out of your chair from having so much Fun. I give Every issue of T.I.M. (5) STARS. There is absolutely no more FUN to be found in Computer Game Land. I suggest you get your own copy and find out for yourself, before they sell out! HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS of GREAT FAMILY FUN!!
