We, at PushButton Labs, have officially announced our acquisition of rights to publish The Incredible Machine and use its intellectual property! Awesome! The game is now available for purchase/download from Good Old Games (GOG.com).
For those of you unfamiliar with the title, it was released back in the 90’s as what is now toted the predecessor to physics puzzle games. I’m anxious to get my hands on it and start building some Rube Goldberg goodness.
Considered by some to be the grandfather of the Physics & Puzzle game genres, The Incredible Machine pitted players against a series of Rube Goldberg style devices which were composed from a wide range of objects such as ropes & pulleys, bowling balls, and even cats and mice.
The Incredible Machine was the winner of several prizes due to its innovative style and simulation abilities. A spin-off of the series, Sid & Al’s Incredible Toons earned Jeff Tunnell and Chris Cole a patent for their game design concepts.
The series is available for sale at the time of this release and can be found online at: http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/the_incredible_machine_mega_pack
