'''''[http://www.golemgame.com/ Golems]''''' is a free "3d recreational physics simulator." It's designed to be remarkably intuitive and user-friendly -- basically, you can [[Wide Open Sandbox|do anything]], from something as simple as drag indragging a few blocks and motors to make a crude car to something as complicated as [[Humongous Mecha|giant robots]], [[Tank Goodness|hovertanks]], or fully-functioning [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|vending machines]]. Machines can be user-controlled or, with a bit more effort and some sensors, [[Instant AI, Just Add Water|pilot themselves]]. It's a bit like LEGO, but the [[Frickin' Laser Beams|laser cannons]] work and you never run out of bricks. The physics simulation is also surprisingly accurate and realistic ([[Rule of Fun|with the exception of a few obvious impossibilities, such as the aforementioned lasers]]). Best of all, it's fun.
 
You can download the game [http://www.golemgame.com/download.html here], and see the forum (where other users upload their machines and give tons of useful help) [http://www.golemgame.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1/ here]{{Dead link}}.

Not to be confused with the [[Golem|mythological creature]] from which it derives its name.

* [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: When the above goes horribly, horribly wrong.
* [[Clock Punk]]: All-mechanical contraptions with plentiful quantities of gears are another favourite
