Under the category of "Rube Goldberg Machines", I'd add this classic retro game for the kids:

The Even More Incredible Machine: https://playclassic.games/games/puzzle-solving-dos-games-onl...

I enjoyed The Incredible Machine as a kid, the modern equivalent (though still 10 years old) is 'Contraption Maker' - https://store.steampowered.com/app/241240/Contraption_Maker/ - which was designed by the same person. Glad to see he's still going all these years later!

This is not 'Incredible Machine' related, but while I'm here, I'm working on an engineering-adjacent game where you build and automate a zoo full of spooky monsters. Might be of interest to some! https://store.steampowered.com/app/654960/The_Eldritch_Zooke...

Currently, the list only has Steam games (not for platform favoritism, but for "Very Positive" reviews as a minimum threshold).

However, I'm not sure if it should stay that way. Maybe it'd be good to have some older games, etc.? Discussion here: https://github.com/arcataroger/awesome-engineering-games/dis...
