Do you know the game?

[GeneralIssue]

Hi,

I need help in finding a game I was playing a loooong while ago...I don't remember the name: it was a simple computer game - you had to arrange different given objects in order to make something work, like turning on a machine, put a ball into a box etc. Physics was involved as you had to consider gravity when balloons were cut and flew off thus turning on a switch and so on....
Does anyone know what I am talking about? Although the description is not very good but I don't know how to explain exactly

The incredible machine?

In case abaxas didn't get it.
Can you remember what platform it was on and how long is "loooong while ago" decade, 2 decades??

You might get lucky on this website (though there is one game I cant remember the name of and have not seen it anywhere)

Other than the time frame, sounds a lot like the Talos Principle. Given that, there's -

Portal (1 & 2)
Quantum Conundrum
Qube
Antichamber
Magrunner: Pulse
and more than a few others...

none of which are very old (but all fitting your definition otherwise)

Can you remember if it was 2d or 3d? Or any of AGTDenton's questions would certainly help nail it down more closely.

The Incredible Machine.

There's a modern remake, called Contraption Maker.
