Island of Dr. Brain, The Download (1992 Puzzle Game)

In the sequel to Castle of Dr. Brain, you will have to assist Dr. Brain in retrieving a battery for one of his experiments - the plans for which were stolen by Dr. Brain's archrival scientist. In order to beat the scientist, you will have to tour the Island of Dr. Brain in search of the elusive battery. On your way you will have to solve a plethora of puzzles in various difficulty levels, and even find use for a bunch of pink flamingoes!

This game was made in 1992 and is part of the Sierra Discovery series. It's full of all kinds of puzzles and I enjoyed it a lot.

The game starts out with Dr. Brain telling you how he was working late in his lab and was clouted with a pink flamingo and the plans for his latest top-secret project were stolen. Fortunately, Dr. Brain had left the fact that the project requires a special battery to operate. The battery can be found in only one place - Dr. Brain's private island. Your assignment is to go to his island, get the battery and bring it back to him. On the island, you will have to go through Dr. Brain's security puzzles. If you are in any trouble, you can use the hint watch to contact Dr. Brain and he will give you clues. Some of the puzzles are easy, others are not.

The graphics are good looking and it's full of easter eggs (click on everything you see). There is even a little speech and you can choose between Adlib, General MIDI and PC Speaker music.

This is a good game, but unfortunately it's a lot easier than it's predecessor, The Castle of Dr. Brain. I urge you to try some (or all) of the puzzles on the expert level. They're much harder then. Try to beat my record in the "Tower of Hanoi" puzzle on expert level - 468 moves!
