Game Review (written by John_jacob) Added on: 10/19/2006
The Secret Island of Dr. Quandary was a game that I remember playing in elementary school. We would go out onto the island and try to do Dr. Quandary’s wishes and the game never seemed to end. Some of the things were quite challenging such as constructing the puzzles. Some people just have a great ability to do them, while I always sat there the whole time trying to figure out how I did this puzzle before and everyone was telling me what to do.

You start out in this carnival and you pick the troll like creature that you want to be after you accomplish the Troggle Shoot. I always found this to be quite fun as you shot the targets as they

scrolled past you. After you chose the doll, you are magically transported to his island where you receive a letter in a bottle that tells you what to do. However, to escape that body, you have to try to solve all of Dr. Quandary’s riddles. There is one part where you construct puzzles. Another part where you try and squirt paint into jars that they want. Many of the tasks are logic based and some require math. However, there are some traditional puzzles as well such as crosswords. You have to accomplish many of the tasks in order to go from one place to another, because Dr. Quandary wants to make it very difficult for you to move around and get out of your doll body. There is one task, where there are many CD’s lying in the sand, and your job is to take them so that the person you are competing against has to take the last one. It can be difficult sometimes. There is also a person who collects a tax when you try to pass him.
This game was put out by MECC in 1993 as a DOS based program. MECC also put out Oregon Trail, so you may be able to make some comparisons with the educational value of it. It is a fun but challenging game for an elementary student, but it is great at getting the mind to think logically. I would recommend it to anyone who would just like to test their brain abilities and see how quickly they can come up with solutions to things and think in an abstract way. Be prepared to do some math as well because some of the puzzles require that you know some math in order to solve them.

This is a wonderful game that encourages critical thinking and problem solving. The variety of different puzzles are able to stretch a youngster's mind, as well as allow older folks to remember where they were 15 years ago when this game came out.

This game is awesome! I remember playing this in school. I can't count how many hours of my childhood were spent playing this game!

This was always a highly entertaining game to play at school. My mother was an elementary teacher and I remember playing it for hours during the summer while she was preparing for the fall semester.

It’s a great game, it was my favorite as a kid. It’s fun and you really don’t get tired of it. The challenges are always enjoyable and it’s great to reach the end.

I thought I was the only one who loved this game! I got this game when I was 4, and I'm about to turn 17, and I still play it. It has lasted me from Windows 3.1 to Vista. Certainly a keeper, and one of my favorites!
