I need help trying to find a game. I played it in the early morning while in second or third grade. As soon as I got to school it was always a mad dash to the computer to be the first one to play. I remember a short clip about eating veggies while it started up. It was a lot of point and click like this game and everything was clickable and would either animate or take you to another screen. There were aliens that if you clicked on the nose they would honk. We would never get to far and we always had to restart since there appeared to be no saving. I don't remember if it was on a floppy or disk. But I've been trying to remember what in the hell this game was so that I could see it again. I thought it was this but I'm thinking I'm wrong.

Ah, that MediaVision logo.
I remember it well, given the 486 we got in 1993 had a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 and a 2x CD-ROM drive with a software bundle.
I got rid of a lot of old computer parts around 2000 ish
In hindsight I wish I had kept that sound card. It's really well regarded and kinda pricey these days.
(AFAIK Pro Audio Spectrum 16 was of course a sound blaster clone, but it was regarded as having exceptionally high quality PCM sound recording and playback. The OPL-3 FM chip might have been identical to a SB-16, but the rest of the chipset really wasn't)

Hey, LGR! I-ve loved your videos for a long time, and it-s amazing seeing you cover Dr. Brain (I never played this one, but I grew up on the third one -Lost Mind of Dr. Brain-)
I saw Electronics Boutique on the receipt and I wasn-t sure if you knew, but we actually still have it in Canada! .kind of. It became EB Games after a while, and now it-s basically GameStop in all but name (even the signage inside sometimes says GameStop, and you can get GameStop exclusives there, but it-s still called EB. the legacy lives on.

I know this is a long shot but ive been googling trying to find this old pc game for years. From what I remember you inherit a mansion or something like that and when you go inside some tribal/voodoo masks task you with solving puzzles but they are all musical in nature. It was maybe a point and click or an adventure im not sure anymore. I remember it had old school DRM with something in the booklet you had to type in when you started the game. The cover was red if I remember right. PLEASE HELP ME BROTHA!

12: 18 I don't think he's entering there, I think those are screens hanging on the ceiling in the middle of the room, but with the player's perspective being close to them, so he's actually just walking in the room and it looks like he's going behind them from that point of view, but they mistakingly had his sprite walk over the red and purple screens on the left rather than behind them.

Man. I mean maan! I was looking for the name of this DOS game for about two years or even more! Asking around on irc, my friends, watching YT videos of -100 DOS games in 5 minues- and alike and nothing. And now out of the nowhere you are reviewing it.
Hehe, you made my day, sir ( /me tips off the hat.
I owe you a beer or two. :)

Oh Man, that takes me back. I loved Castle of Dr. Brain, mostly a really good game (a few annoying bits, but overall very good. Island of Dr. Brain was all right, but not nearly as good. And the Lost Mind of Dr. Brain was. really terrible, having all of 5 -puzzles- (minigames) you had to repeat over and over.

If you ever want to take Edutainment Month international, I'd like you to have a look at my nostalgia for Davilex's Redcat series. Simple platforming and racing games with spelling and math exercises (also geography for the later ones, I think. Probably only available in Dutch, though.
