Crayon Physics Deluxe

A finalist in the 2008 Independent Games Festival (IGF) – Crayon Physics Deluxe looks like it’s going to be a pretty cool educational app – and fun to boot.  I plan on getting it for my son (and me of course) to play with once it goes on the market.  Words won’t do it justice, so check out the YouTube video below:

It makes you want to run out and buy a tablet PC.

It reminds me of another of my sons favorite games – The Incredible Machine – which was available back in the Windows 95 days.  I’m still able to get this oldie but goody to work on his XP machine by setting the startup properties on the app to lie and tell it that it’s running in 256 colors under Win95.

The wikipedia article claims that the Incredible Machine is supposed to be offered as a downloadable app on the XBOX 360 – I hope that happens as it is a fantastic brain-stretcher for young (and old) minds.
