Thank you 'EGCARDEN'. Followed instructions, and it worked. Really appreciated, as remember playing this game as a boy in the 90's. Now my kids can experience it to!
One question - it ceoms up as a very small window, and I can't work out whether it can go larger. Any ideas?

I just was able to use the game, using Windows 10 Operating System. There are some steps I want to share with you. Be patient if is the first time you are facing using DOS (and old Operative system, no mouse, black and white screen), just follow the steps below: 1. Download a DOS emulator (I used DOSBox from https://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/files/latest/download). 2. Install and open the DOSBox emulator. 3. In the DOS interface (no mouse allowed by now) I used the 'mount' command for accesing the files in my PC due there is only a Z drive with few files used exclusively by the emulator. In my case, I created from windows explorer a folder called 'DOS' in my C drive, therefore to mount this folder in the DOSBox emulator, I just typed 'mount C C:DOS' after the 'Z:' line showed (don't include the quotes). 4. In the DOSBox emulator, you still should see the 'Z:' line, therefore, to access the files in the 'C:DOS' windows folder, just type 'C:' (don't include the quotes when typying in the DOSBox Emulator). Now, you should see on that black screen a line showing 'C:'. 5. From your prefered internet browser (chrome, iexplore, edge,..), download the 'The Incredible Tool Machine' game from https://www.myabandonware.com/game/the-incredible-machine-1mg#download. 6. Extract all the files included in the 'The-Incredible-Machine_DOS_EN.zip' zip file in the 'C:DOS' folder you already created in Windows (be sure that you extract the files, not just an additional folder named 'incredible-machine' on that C:DOS folder; I mean, you should see in the C:DOS folder a list of files, including 'install.com', 'TIM.exe', etc. 7. From the DOSBox emulator, as you already are seeing 'C:', just type 'install' (don't include the quotes when typying in the DOSBox Emulator): a Blue&Green window is opened into the emulator. 8. I don't recommend you change any of this settings, therefore, just type the number 5; it will finally open this game. 6. just click on the window to start the game.
Remember: this is an old (but very interesting and fun) classic game, so at the beginning you should be patient until you get how to interact with the tools there (most of them are with the mouse) and how to solve each puzzle.
I Hope this helps

Este jogo pode parecer estupido e sem sentido, principalmente para a nova geração acostumada com jogos modernos muito mais intuitivos e desenvolvidos para que a maioria seja capaz de superar seus desafios. Mas se considerarmos os recursos disponiveis de seu tempo como a capacidade das maquinas acessiveis aos usuários medios, este jogo é certamente digno de uma boa avaliação dentro de sua proposta. Uma maneira simples e divertida de transmitir conceitos basicos de fisica através de quebra-cabeças a serem resolvidos com recursos limitados, forçando o jogador a compreender as regras fisicas nele aplicadas e utilizar sua imaginação para obter sucesso.
This may seem like a senseless stupid game, mainly for the new generations that are used to friendlier interfaces and games developed to be conquerable by the majority of their users. But considering the available resources of it's time to home users, this game truly deserves a positive evaluation due it's given proposal. A simple and fun way to teach basic physics concepts through puzzles to solve with limited resources, forcing the player to comprehend it's applied laws of physics by using their imagination to succeed.

If you stop at LOADING, then reload your(current) page. Programmers didn't do great job to make game smooth, but it was 1993 so no complain. P.S. one complain wanted to download to my HD, but didn't find where, is it possible?
