This is one of my favorite games ever, I love all the art & music. The Encarta and other dictionary CDs at the time (I think Encyclopedia Britannica?) had such an interesting variety of educational games, they were some of the first computer games I ever played

I spent hundreds of hours in Mind Maze. Not sure I ever played as intended (looking up the answers in the encyclopedia) I just brute forced my way and memorized the right answers. We had nothing better to do in 1995.
Wow. unlocked a core childhood memory I wasn't aware was still up here in the filing cabinets
Encarta / Winbrick afternoons on a nicotine-beige Windows 98 running monster
Loved this game so much as a kid. If anyone knows of similar games, I'd love to play something like this again.

Mom! I need to take the Internet cd out of the cd drive so I can go on Encarta!
Can't even begin to calculate how many hours I sat at the Gateway desktop watching those goofy animations.
I used to love mindlessly clicking around this game on the school computers and seeing what would happen. I refused to read anything on the screen for some reason.
