![]() ![]() Windows 95 introduced many features that have been part of the product ever since, including the Start menu, the taskbar, and Windows Explorer (renamed File Explorer in Windows 8). Windows 95 also had a significant amount of 16-bit code ported from Windows 3.1. Windows 95, though still being based on MS-DOS, was its own operating system, using a 16-bit DOS-based kernel and a 32-bit user space. The first versions of Windows (1.0 through to 3.11) were graphical shells that ran from MS-DOS. The product line evolved in the 1990s from an operating environment into a fully complete, modern operating system over two lines of development, each with their own separate codebase. Microsoft introduced Windows as a graphical user interface for MS-DOS, which had been introduced two years earlier. Microsoft Windows was announced by Bill Gates on November 10, 1983. If you want a game for all ages, if you're a fan of physics, and want something generally different, the entire series is a must have.See List of Microsoft Windows versions for a tabular view of releases and editions. This is a great game to just unwind with, relax, lay back, and take your time studying the Rube-Goldberg type puzzles. The Incredible Machine is a mental workout that stimulates different parts of the brain. Every now and then I wish I had something more stimulating than a military first person shooter or a brutal action game ripping out guts in quick-time events. In fact, I bought Crazy Machines based solely on my experience with The Incredible Machine series. It's a physics simulator like Crazy Machines. It could be considered an educational game for kids, but I enjoy it just the same. It's a collection of mind bending physics puzzles that appeals to the MacGyver in all of us. Apparently it subscribes to the Megaman theory on game design, more of the same, and more of the same awesomeness. The Incredible Machine 3 is more of the same from The Incredible Machine team. It's more like the Crazy Machines 2 which is an equally tough and interesting puzzle game. Such games are always are good addition to one's hard disk. It's a pure mind game rather than a game to attract your attention through action or graphics. The graphics are a bit average but the game does not demand some high quality graphics. For those who are interested in physics, it will really provide you something unique from physics point of view and will enable you to develop even more liking about the subject. It really sets you for relaxing down and then thinking on it with a clear mind and really enhances your ability to solve puzzles. It is not for those who like guts flying in the air or hardcore shooter games but is definitely for those who like to exercise their mind with some real puzzles. What's good about this game is that it involves some very realistic puzzles and you can always use your knowledge of the real world to solve out various puzzles. It is more of a physics simulator rather than a simple puzzle game. Well this game is really a mind tester because it provides you with some really tough and mind bending puzzles of physics and is a great learning game. ![]() If you enjoy games like Crazy Machines or Lemmings, then this is one for you. Graphically, the game is straightforward but effective, with bright, appealing colours and simple sprites, while the interface makes it highly accessible and easy to get to grips with. It is immensely satisfying using your ingenuity and seeing your creations come to glorious life and the game provides a lot of replay value as you can return to it again and again to see what else you can come up with. Of course, part of the fun here is not simply creating the simplest machine, but the most bizarre, imaginative and downright bonkers device you can possibly imagine and it is here that the game really comes into its own. The game makes extensive use of real-world physics like gravity and pressure and so it requires a great deal of thought and cunning to use the objects in the best possible way to create the most efficient machine. The game's premise is simple enough: using random collections of objects like electrical generators, bowling balls and cats, the player must create a machine which fulfils a specific task. For those who have never experienced the joys of the series though, this is a neat and inventive game that deserves to be played. However, while the game is certainly a lot of fun and provides plenty of entertainment, veterans of the second game in the series beware, as this is basically the same thing, just with an improved interface. The classic series returns in this third entry which retains the usual cunning and devilish physics-based puzzles. ![]()
