Storyline edit

An educational game for children was different. Puzzles are needed to be done to put Dr Brain's brain back together again.

Gameplay edit

 
The Main Navigation Area

The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain features science-related puzzles similar to the first two games in the series. Previous instalments featured a large, semi-free-roaming environment. However, The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain restricts the player to a single area (Dr. Brain's laboratory), with puzzles accessed from a central 'map' screen. Dr. Brain's niece, Elaina (voiced by Kayce Glasse) replaces Dr. Brain as host and serves as a guide to Dr. Brain's mental pathways. 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), The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain focuses solely on the human brain, with puzzles related to spatial orientation, memorization, and symbolic association.

Reception edit

The game scored positive reviews by Computer Shopper as entertaining in August 1995 and by PC Gamer for having "educational value" in December 1996.[5]

Next Generation reviewed the Macintosh version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "If you have (or are) a little kid, definitely try this out; if not, have six or eight drinks and try it out anyway. At worst, you'll be drunk and watching cartoons."[3]
