Same. TIM's designer/coder Kevin Ryan actually made a spiritual successor called Contraption Maker, it's pretty fun and still has regular updates: https://store.steampowered.com/app/241240/Contraption_Maker/

Thanks! Purchased immediately. :D

The greatest game ever created, surprised people don't talk about it more!!

I also assumed it was about the game. It is seared into my youthful memories.

Casey's Contraptions is a mobile game highly inspired by The Incredible Machine

I remember one of the sequels [0], it seemed to often devolve into blowing up vast amounts of airships and nitroglycerine, haha.
