Introduction
The Even More! Incredible Machine is an extension to The Incredible Machine which contains all original 87 puzzles (now skippable), plus 73 additional ones, including new exclusive objects.
In this movie I solve all 160 puzzles as fast as possible by, first, copying and resyncing the 87 solutions from #10017: eien86's DOS The Incredible Machine in 26:23.238, and then solving the rest by hand. I got inspiration for many of them from a longplay from the youtube Dosgamert channel. Nevertheless, I tried to and many times succeeded in improving their solutions.
TASing this game is really demanding, as every puzzle requires a different approach, instead of, say, a platformer, which has its own challenges but is overall not so taxing in problem solving. But moreover, the developers got smart in this sequel and much less space for skips or unorthodox solutions.
Enjoy!

DrD2k9: Cancelling. We realized that the game will run more smoothly with the 1993 preset in the DOS settings (eien86 thought he had tested this, but had tested the 1994 preset where the game didn't work). The 1993 preset will be smoother, faster, and more accurate to when this game was released than the 1991 preset which was used in this submission. We also anticipate improvements in mouse movements and some possible solution improvements as well. We will re-submit once everything is updated, but aren't sure when that will be.
