Not sure that "being able to hit undo" and "no harm done!" is what makes blowing things up enjoyable, but to each his own.

Heh, well, I'm speaking as somebody who was fairly obsessed with making Rube Goldberg domino chains as a kid, spending hours at a time covering a large oak trestle table with precarious stacks of wooden blocks, rulers, tape cases, strings, marbles and so on -- and then knocking them all down. (This was long before YouTube, so I don't have any documentation of any of this.)

I would really have appreciated an "Undo" button for rewinding entropy and running those things over again, especially when they went disappointingly wrong halfway through...!
