![]() In order to achieve your objective you firstly need to locate the 'target' object (the one you must manipulate and get to a particular spot) then select the action button and start the ball rolling, so to speak, and observe what happens. Each puzzle is presented with a commentary stating the unique objective of that particular game and, by manipulating the game window size, it is possible to display this objective in text just in case you lose track of what you're doing during the course of play.Īs for the puzzles, the main playing area is dotted with numerous objects or gadgets such as walls of various shapes, buckets, cogs, pulleys, cannons, anti-gravity mats and electric motors and, depending on the respective aim of the puzzle, your job will be to get young Mel safely home or to put the ball in the basket, trap the cat or give the poor mouse a feed of cheese. Like its predecessors the Incredible Machine 3 consists of a collection of mechanical type puzzles that become progressively more difficult as you move through the list. There is some merit to this categorisation as the limited commentary is certainly speaking more to children than adults and, although it's suitable for everyone, it is an excellent series for a wide range of children. This game was released sometime last year and is marketed for players from the age of six up though most often you will find it in the children's section of your local computer game retailer. Oh dear, there's an immovable obstacle in the way of the laser beam and it missed its target switch by an nth of a millimetre. ![]() Also it deserves attention because very likely there are more than one or two of you who haven't yet sampled the delights and frustration of watching the bouncing balls and cats and rats (well, mice really) zapping around the screen as your carefully thought-out strategy falls into tatters. In spite of this it's still packed with puzzles and has a range of new gadgets to manipulate. Review by Rosemary Young (June, 1996) As it's the third in the series, this version of Sierra's Incredible Machine won't be too much of a surprise for many of you.
