Created by Quest for Glory co-designer Corey Cole, the series is one of the few examples of. Brain is the first in a two-part series of educational puzzle-games from Sierra. This brain-blasting game is set, how surprisingly, in Dr. Brain’s castle, where the player will have to beat Dr. Brain’s traps and puzzles in order to fulfill the assignment given. Description of Castle of Dr. Brain Definitely a true classic, this game belongs on every puzzle lover's shelf and every kid's desk. Designed by Corey Cole (of Quest for Glory fame), this game is the best example of 'edutainment' - a highly enjoyable game that also teaches lots of things through a series of devious puzzles and games.
The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain is the third installment of the educational Dr. Brain series, created and published by Sierra Entertainment. Several new characters have been introduced: Dr. Brain's niece, Elaina (voiced by Kayce Glasse) is on hand to replace Dr. Brain (voiced by Rodney Sherwood) as host, and also serves as a guide to Dr. Brain's mental pathways. Also, Rathbone, Dr. Brain's laboratory rat, provides what limited verbal humor can be found in the game.
Gameplay
As in the first two games, Lost Mind features science related puzzles. Where the previous installments featured a large, semi-free-roaming environment, however, Lost Mind confines the player to one single area (Dr. Brain's laboratory), with puzzles accessed from a central 'map' screen. Similarly, while the previous games' puzzles ranged across a variety of disciplines (both Castle and Island contained memory and word puzzles, as well as puzzles related to art and the sciences), Lost Mind focuses solely on the human brain, with puzzles related to spatial orientation, memorization, and symbolic association.
Due to the restricted game environment, much of the humor that was found in the first two games is missing in Lost Mind; since the player no longer has free rein over an entire island or castle, there is very little to explore, and very little with which to interact.
Reception
The game was reviewed positively by Computer Shopper as entertaining in August 1995 and by PC Gamer having educational value in December 1996.[1]
