The Incredible Machine (flash video)

[Remilia Scarlet]

Anyone remembr the computer games called "The Incredible Machine"? The sequel, "The Even More Incredible Machine," was one of the first PC games I played, and is still a favorite. Well, this is the first time I ever saw a real-life version of them.

The individual shorts in this video were on TV every thursday in Japan.

EDIT: The announcer is saying pitagora souichi (Pathagorean Switch), which is the name of the show.

I bought the third installment, and still have the cover, 5/5.

Very cool. Machines and contraptions like these are known as Rube Goldberg Machines, so named after a man who would draw fanciful, complex devices to do a very simple task in a convoluted way. Different countries have different names for it, and as Haruko pointed out, they are known as Pathagorean Switches in Japan.
