I fought the lava, and the lava won.
Now I want to reinstall it as well. I've got the collection on GOG already, and I have the CD of 2 somewhere in my collection of vintage games. I mostly loved playing around with the physics sliders in the later games.

I've also got Toon Machine around and similarly gave up on it when the physics clearly didn't seem to be working properly.

I fought the lava, and the lava won.
I seem to remember that the homemade puzzles in the first game didn't include customizable goals as such - you'd type the goal, but it was up to the player to decide whether they'd solved the puzzle correctly based on the goal text. The second game had functions to program the components with goal conditions and would declare victory when all of the conditions were met.

The two player puzzles were simple, but the idea was that the players would take turns placing parts. I think, for each turn, you could place one new part and move one part that's already in the solution. Whoever solves the puzzle wins.
