The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain

[@FriggOff361]

so much nostalgia it hurts

[@redbeardgaming8250]

I remember playing this and loving the music

[@nikolaicarpathia8171]

25 years since I played this and I still remember the sounds. Thank you for keeping this alive.

[@yanika388usa3]

Same here :)

[@Whatimmortalhandoreye]

This was the epitome of my childhood. Playing this game on our IBM computer, eating Gushers, at the desk near the kitchen and smelling Glade Hawaiian Breeze air fresheners.

[@moshersmusic]

IBM Aptiva in 1996. Also came with Torin's Passage, Mechwarrior, Caesar II, and a crapload of other great games and software. Pure nostalgia.

[@Rebel1280]

We had the Aptiva Stealth. I now work in IT and fully credit this game for starting me out on the right path!

[@pammajidy9487]

The treasures of the golden age of the internet, so happy.

[@Sarah.aerialist]

This game was the source of everything I feared as a four year old

[@cheekymonkey3776]

I played this game alot as a kid

[@joshray9651]

Loved this game. This and a few others came with our first home computer back in the early nineties

[@mpeknyc]

ohh mann this was my damn game! wish i can play this again

[@sky0kast0]

You can

[@KarlozAlbertoOC]

@@sky0kast0 how can I play it ??

[@Whatimmortalhandoreye]

Same!! I looooved this game.

[@spikedblade]

@@KarlozAlbertoOC There are lots of abandonware games sites that have old games like this.

[@DefendYoungstown]

"Aey! You're pretty good! You should come work for me ova'ere, down'ere, allatime, down'ere, ova'here, down'ere..."

[@riversong4997]

I just remember we used to play this game at school, and when I was little it scared the shit outta me for some reason.

[@Mr.MaxiCola]

Lol, same here!

[@lordpsi99]

Yeah, there's a lot of creepy stuff going on. I still don't like biology for the same reason. Also, it's terrifying to be shown how fragile the brain is. It's our entire self. Isn't it weird that the goal of the game is to take away everything from Rathbone, whom we grow to love throughout the game??

[@sparklynn1377]

I Miss that game a lot!!!! Should be available again

[@Mintshiregames]

Thanks for this! Remember playing this on my first Pentium PC. I linked to this on my site :)

[@saiyansnake]

Man oh man oh MAN!! I got this game in like 1995 in the software bundle that came with my first PC! It was a Gateway PC that looked like a cow LMAO.

[@AugustTheStag]

Damn did we have the same childhood?

[@hrthrhs]

Legit think we had the same childhood. I remember having a CD that had a whole bunch of games on. Can't remember what it was called.

[@lordpsi99]

Same but ours was an Aptiva Plus.

[@comradewin7835]

This gave me such bad nightmares as a kid, especially the wire mouse from around 28:40

[@lordpsi99]

Yeah, I had nightmares, too. The Magic School Bus: Inside the Human Body also gave me recurring nightmares of getting stuck shrunken inside my own or the character Arnold's body. I still have those nightmares. There's this level in Zelda Ocarina of Time that's inside a giant fish/whale and I couldn't play it because I was petrified. I still struggle to play it to this day. Futurama had an episode that combined all my nightmares into one, where Fry gets worms in his body and the other characters went inside with these scale, remote control robots they controlled with VR and motion capture suits. Eventually Fry goes inside himself as one of these micro robots and cuts a bunch of stuff in his own brain. I felt so sick watching it, in fact, I'm feeling queasy right now. It could have all started with this game! I think it was mostly the Magic School Bus game, though, not the actual episodes the game was based on. If you look up a playthrough, you can see why it's so scary. The prerendered CGI cutscenes with the extremely high contrast colours and shading are very very unnerving.

[@Knights_of_the_Nine]

All these dr brain games made me scared AF.

[@martindc83]

This is part of my childhood

[@jrmagana]

Look at me, I’m Swedish!

[@imanawale1765]

Omg ive been trying to fond this for tears. Thank youuuuu ❤️🙏🏽. My first game too

[@sebisman]

My parents bought a computer that included this game, it was one of my favorites!!! It's funny because my native language is spanish, I didn't knew how to speak english back then, so I just heard the words and the pronunctiation, it was kind of musical. Now I can understand everything and well... it's an interesting experience haha, so awesome.

[@btogrunge]

Jajaja igual me pasó eso... No sabía inglés pero ahí andaba buscándole logica

[@LiteraryStoner]

The nostalgiaaa

[@raf9826]

I remember playing this in 2009 during my 7th grade computer lab class, IDK if it was just me but I used to think this game was tough as sh*t!

[@pammajidy9487]

The motor programming was the only section I couldn’t do and didn’t like

[@cassishiell298]

One of my favorite games ever

[@djlaw56what]

I remember playing this in 3rd grade and forgot the name since until i found it on ig last night glad to find it after all these years!

[@nickkohlhafer7714]

File The Brick. 33:59 Clunk! ◉⁠‿⁠◉

[@MemeQueensGamingWorld]

I wished they had these on the video game consoles

[@101Volts]

Who voiced Dr. Brain? EDIT: It was Rodney Sherwood.

[@1Soniccool]

He was in Grimm a TV show that was on NBC

[@raiden72]

2:26 its the Starcraft Siege Tank firing sound!!

[@cgsweat]

If I'm not mistaken, there's another section that's unlocked when you complete a certain amount of the game. It's accessed from the dark blue (brain stem?) that also outlines the whole brain.

[@PixelationCorrugation]

sounds a little familiar, but it's honestly been literal decades since I played it enough to get there. Any memories of what the minigame was?

[@cgsweat]

@@PixelationCorrugation Same here, unfortunately I can't remember the exact game since I also haven't played since the 90's. I do remember being excited about it though since it was like this cool new "secret" thing.

[@Beinwen]

It was called "Dreamland". The puzzle was a top-down view of a warped/hilled chessboard where you had to navigate a sphere around various obstacles to flip a switch that opened the door of a hole that you then had to navigate it to. I remember it being very difficult! I think between us my dad and I completed the whole game maybe once. 😅

[@gharding]

everything i know about science i learned from dr brain. everything i know about engineering i learned from the way things work

[@ShakespeareOfBorg]

My first game!!

[@stopdeforestation]

Someone needs to make this an app for smartphones

[@toapositivelife8943]

Thanks for this...

[@jatticusfinch9015]

Your mom called. She said to say, ‘hi.’

[@derrickredd2290]

Loved this and math blaster mystery

[@la_aly_crazymama6303]

non ce la faccio. troppi ricordi

[@spacesophia]

Anyone know where you can play this game again?

[@captainclamboat]

"I AM... THE PUZZLE MASTER"

[@TheInkPitOx]

This is the one I remember from computer lab.

[@EderBorgesVilela]

I've played it a lot 😊

[@tissuesstuff1016]

Wow…

[@JustineSHarrison]

So many times I played

[@jackiepounds1602]

can't tell me that's not rick @ 28:31

[@PixelationCorrugation]

The voice actor? I believe it was Rodney Sherwood.

[@wilsonjose9932]

This is not a game for children definitely!

[@alectriciti]

The 90s had different standards.

[@Cinseble]

Its not a game for todays kids 🤣😂 too many actual brain functions and the lack attention to detail.

[@101Volts]

@@Cinseble I'm not sure I was that much better, but in my defense, I *was* a 5 or 6 year old when I first played the 4th in the series, "Time Warp." It's not like I was going to figure out the "Alchemy" level so easily back then.
