Mystery mac game from school

Post by Jrecee »

Ok I can't figure out what the hell this game is. We all used to play it in the computer lab in elementary school around 1995-1997. It was a mac game. It started in some sort of carnival. I think the first game had you throwing balls at targets. You wandered around an island and solved puzzles and stuff. I think the end goal was to gather stuff up and dump it all in a big couldron. I want to say it was called "the island of" something.

Looking for the game.

Wanted to mention that you just made me nostalgia for Gizmos and Gadgets and Lemmings Paintball though.

Dr Quandary! That was it. I never finished it either. We only got like 20 minutes in the computer lab so it never happened.

Also, number munchers was awesome.

Is there a way to play these games on a new imac?
