My stepchildren and I love Return of the Incredible Machine: Contraptions but are stuck on Easy puzzle #36. We have ignited the rocket on the ramp but it blows up halfway along the ramp It does this no matter how we drop the rocket on the ramp,
get the fire started, or shape the ramp.If this is the fault of our particular computer making the rocket fuse burn too fast, can anyone tell us how to bypass this puzzle and proceed with #37?

I am new to these boards so a reply to stephengriggs@yahoo.com would put us forever in your debt and surely benefit your karma. Thanks at least, anyway.

If it's a matter of the computer being too fast - not sure if the game is DOS or Windows based - but if it IS dos based - have you tried using DOSBox?

No, Contraptions is a Windows program and the correct number of the puzzle is 36 in the Easy section.

I only played the first Incredible Machine game, but usually CPU killer will make old Windows games work.
