5 out of 5 stars Great game to tickle your inspiration   June 18, 2008

I bought this about a year back and I simply love it. Not only me, my 3 year old twins too!!! Of course they cant do much with it, but they simply enjoy looking at me working the puzzles. The physics engine is very good. Some puzzles are not that intriguing, but I think they are there for the newcomer to get used to different machines and gadgets. All in all a great product for the entire family

Great game for the Mac. A continuation of the Incrdible Machine that used to be included with the Hoyle Puzzle Games collection for Mac OS 9.

If you like building contraptions then this game is for you. I am a mechanical engineer and I love playing this game. Some levels take more critical thinking and problem solving, but that's what makes the game challenging and fun. You'll love this game!

The kids and I :) love this game, but it freezes for 8-10 seconds at least once a minute on my 1.6 GHz P4 running Windows XP. My computer greatly exceeds the system requirements printed on the box. This really detracts from the game and the kids are not as patient as myself.

This software is fantastic. Runs well on older systems too. My son was 4 when he started playing this and could not read, but was still able to create many amazing projects. Can't go wrong with this software!!!
