Reminds me of "The incredible machine". I've been unable to find this game for years. Hopefully someone can tell me how to get it or point me to something similar.


Oh god I spent countless hours in that game. There was also something called "Clik N Play" that let you make your own video games.


This looks very similar to a Mac program (whose name I've long since forgotten) I used in college in the mid-1990's. It's good to see somebody is finally putting that CPU power to good use: once you got beyond 5-10 separate objects, a 68k couldn't even manage 1fps.



That's it!


Just for kids? That looks pretty awesome to me. Reminds me of Garry's Mod for half-life 2.


I hope someone makes a "for older person" version. I'd like to play it too.


sadly, avast thinks it has a worm :( (tried downloading the exe file)

*edit: just downloaded the zip file and it works. im not sure how a kid could play with this though, i tried playig around with it and i couldn't even make a car.
