I don't think that The Incredible Machine is an important game at all. There's a game called Bill's Tomato Game that looks like it was based on The Incredible Machine, except it came out a year earlier and was actually based on Lemmings. The creator of The Incredible Machine claims that he had the idea nearly ten years earlier except his bosses made him work on other things, and I believe him, but the fact remains that the game was created and marketed as a Lemmings cash-in.

This was my 5th period class freshman year of high school. It was supposed to be a computer lab where we learn programming, hardware, networking, and even video editing (1996 video editing so camcorders and VHS tapes, but the teacher was lazy and let us just play Incredible Machine all class every day. It was this game and Shockwave. com's bowling game we spent all our time doing in that class. I still got a B in the class somehow.

I loved this game back in the day! On one day playing the game the balloons from the selection were suddenly indestructible heart balloons, and I didn't know why. I just had to use them in as many custom -Machines- as possible, and I think I made a -Machine- where the idea was that all kinds of things tried to destroy that balloon of loooove, but didn't succeed, and ultimately the ball ascended off the screen. :)

This game was the best. I played this as a kid all the time on my old Pentium machine (too young for DOS, our first PC was Win95. Then I got the Incredible Toon Machine which IMO was even more fun. I need to dig out the old PC (still have it and its monitor in original boxes, and a few years ago managed to find someone else who had one to image the factory OS for me.

I spent soooo many hours on this game in my younger days. There was 1 puzzle that had both me and my friend stuck for weeks. Eventually my cousin came to visit on my last day of school. I left him early in the morning and came back 3 hours later to realized he had figured it out and had done a few more puzzles afterward. that bast-rd. lol; )

I had the second in the series when I was young. I was always trying to remember what it was called but I figured it out today because I remembered this collection I had that featured three versions of 3D Ultra Pinball plus more goodies. The other goodies? A demo of 3D Ultra Golf and The Incredible Machine 2. Finally figured it out!

I kinda liked the game but The Incredible Toon Machine clicked with me more: ) I spent a whole sommer dicking around with it with a buddy, solved a lot of the build in levels and made our own. I really liked the personality they gave to the cat and mouse, turned it into a cartoon show: )

I have one of the sequels. I'd spend my time creating my own puzzle mission/story mode where you're one cop character that needed to be protected and set off explosions, guns or crocodiles to blast away, shoot or have the other miniature bad guys eaten. Good times.

There's a game out now called Contraption Maker, started and developed by the same people who made the original Incredible Machine. It's an _official_ spiritual successor, not just a knockoff, so if you liked TIM then you might want to check out Contraption Maker.

I used to play this all the time at my grandma's house as a kid. although I knew it as -Tim- since my family has a tendency to shorten game-names it seems. (I later played a game called War 2. which most people would know as Warcraft 2 Tides of Darkness)
