I'd have been more attracted to this in my younger days if it had this Dr. Q instead: <a href="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/4/48/Q_as_God.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120531094640&amp;path-prefix=en" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/4/48/Q_as_God.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120531094640&amp;path-prefix=en</a> Also, there's a room like the one with the gas, fire and lasers in Drangleic Castle in Dark Souls 2. Anyone that's played it knows what I'm talking about. lol

Thanks, buddy. Eduentertainment media sure is entertaingucational.

I saw the title and thought I knew the game... Alas no. It was "Island of Dr. Brain". Any chance you're covering that this year?

Wow, this game has aged well, despite its graphics and the TOTALLY RADICAL [insert various 90s slang] CD game on the beach. Loved the blunt "no" in the manual - making kids solve them puzzles the old fashioned way!!!

Am I the only one that kept thinking "Island of Dr Brain" the whole time? :P (Although I thought Castle was the better game of the two!)

Totally a 90s game (and there's nothing wrong with that) - and it looks like it's a great logic puzzle test for the kids. I have to admit, the get-off-our-lawn tone of the manual was priceless!

Dithering in a 256 colour graphics mode? Waaaaat? &gt;_&gt;; Actually yeah, all things considered, this thing doesn't seem to play all that bad, but for a game designed to be offbeat and quirky the graphics really should've been done better. If you're having to resort to dithering when using a 256 colour graphics mode, you're doing something wrong. :P

Does it seem strange to play a game you installed via a 5.25in floppy that references a CD-Rom in-game?

I always liked this game, but man, Dr. Quandary is kind of a butthole.

True that, I added a small note about the intense dithering in the updated version of this video

Ah ha! THIS is what I've been looking for ever since I played it at school as a kid a few times. It was on an iMac G3 and this game intrigued the heck out of me as a kid, even though I had no idea what the context of the game was. Thank you for uploading this, it brought back some awesome memories! And although I didn't know what I was doing in the game, I did complete the first two puzzles. Beyond that, I never got to progress because of limited time. Either that or I probably got bored of it :P
