The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain
Description
This game, the third in the Dr. Brain series, begins with an explanation of
the goal of the game — Dr Brain’s brain has been accidentally transferred
into a lab rat and you need to restore it. To do this you must complete nine
puzzle areas. (There are 3 levels of difficulty, which restore 5%, 10%, or 15%
of a section of Dr. Brain’s brain.) The puzzles are designed to require “the
combined efforts of your seven intelligences,” as detailed by Dr. Howard
Garnder’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences: verbal/linguistic,
logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical,
interpersonal, and intra-personal. While one activity requires mainly hand eye
coordination, others involve more complex mathematical thinking and problem
solving. For instance, players must navigate a three-dimensional maze using a
two dimensional map, use a set of basic computer commands to direct a robot
around a grid, build a replica of a 3-D block construction using a model which
can be rotated, flip the switches on a system of train tracks in order to
deliver requested marbles in the correct sequence, and develop a system for
filing objects in order to recall which objects were placed where. Other
puzzles involve moving letters around a grid to form words, placing and
matching pictures of sign language letters in a grid, and rearranging eight
bars of music to play a requested song. Once Dr. Brain’s brain is restored,
the player visits Dream Land and solves a final series of puzzles.
