    TWO WAYS TO PLAY

    1. SOLVE ANY ONE OF 200 FULLY ANIMATED PUZZLES...
    Read or listen to the puzzle goals (Get Mel home safely). Yikes! Can you climb there from here? Try to eye a possible path.

    Next, rummage through the over 50 nifty doodads and wacky devices in the Parts Bin. Pull out the ones you want and build a solution. Several zillion combinations are possible, but you need one that works!

    Now crank up your machine and hang on! See if your construction strategy solves the puzzle. If so, your brain will feel really good. If not, don't fret -- try again!

    2 ... OR BUILD YOUR OWN PUZZLE
    Just strap on your inventor's helmet, enter Make A Machine Mode, and create the wildest contraption you can dream up! Create puzzles from the 50+ parts in The Incredible Machine for your friends and family to solve.

Back Cover - DOS (US):

    INCREDIBLE!



    Want to build a better mousetrap? All it takes are bike-riding monkeys, treadmill mice and a few bowling balls. Genius and junk combine to solve the convoluted contraptions in The Incredible Machine.

    Start with a fanciful framework of levers and gears and basketballs. Then search the toolbox for your own gadgetry and set up a chain reaction that will free the cat, or exercise the mice, or burst balloons.

    Connect wheels and cycles, seesaws and platforms while building your mechanical solutions. You might have to flip pieces, enlarge objects or position the parts precisely to find the perfect blend of mechanics and madness in your solution to The Incredible Machine.

    Features:
  • 45 animated parts to create working machines.

  • Solve over 75 levels of intriguing puzzles.

  • Wild musical score & zany sound effects.

  • Super hi-res VGA graphics.

  • Change air pressure & gravity for outrageous results.

  • Invent your own wacky machines in free-form mode.
