Over at the IndieGameDev blog, I pointed readers to Hapland, a “Rube
Goldberg Machine” game in which you have to figure out how to make the
machine work in order to accomplish its task: light two torches. It sounds simple enough, but trust me: the game will drive you bonkers.

It is driving me mad: everything on the page loads except the Hapland applet. Very frustrating.
Hapland2 loads just fine, but that closing comment makes me think I need to complete Hapland before attempting it...
Neat! For more Rube Goldbergesque fun, I like "The Incredible Machine". You can probably find it and its sequel(s) kicking around the cheap game racks beside SimFarm and such. :)

View-source on the comment above for some sneaky hidden spam.
Yeah, that "Tina Hatson" just spammed me 300 times...
