     There was a "Fix It" or "Fix-It" release from Random House.
Probably, it is an educational game. This could explain why it may be
hard to find on an archive site or in a Game List.

    "Incredible Machine" sounds like a Sunburst title. If it is, you
have another educational game. So far, this would be the only link to
"Fix It".

     As for the description of "Fix It", it sounds a bit like a game
named "Ankh".
