The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain (1994)
The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain is a 1994 puzzle video game.
Dr. Brain has scattered his own intellect into a set of gadgets, and putting his mind back together falls to you. The third entry trades the castle and island maps for a rack of standalone brain-benders: memory games, logic grids, math challenges, spatial puzzles, and pattern-matching, each tuned across several difficulty levels. It plays more like a puzzle collection than a wandering adventure, with a light frame story to justify the workout. The same friendly, unkillable tone the series is known for, now stripped down to the pure mental exercise underneath.
