I'm just here to suggest that anyone looking for wholesome, intellectually challenging games for kids should look into both the Dr. Brain and Incredible Machine series. The later entries especially in both series still hold up today as seriously amazing and entertaining puzzle games for kids to develop critical thinking skills.
- mikepurvis 7y agoThe Incredible Machine 3/4 does indeed hold up well. I recently grabbed "Crazy Machines 3" off of the steam sale to try to scratch that itch and it just wasn't the same.
- playworker 7y agoFYI Wikipedia suggests that GOG.com has the originals and that a game called Contraption Maker on Steam is a spiritual successor by the original developers
- mikepurvis 7y agoYup: https://www.gog.com/game/the_incredible_machine_mega_pack https://www.gog.com/game/the_incredible_machine_mega_pack https://store.steampowered.com/app/241240/Contraption_Maker/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/241240/Contraption_Maker/
- cm2012 7y agoDr Brain was very exciting as a kid.
- liberte82 7y agoDr Brain was my favorite game as a kid, I played it over and over and over. So fun. I was so excited when the sequel (Island of Dr Brain) came out, and it was just as good.

- BuckRogers 7y agoI've already mentioned it enough times in this thread, but you're talking about a game created by the folks who recently released Hero-U. Dr. Brain is another title originally conceived by Lori and Corey Cole.
