[b]The Time Warp of Doctor Brain.[/b]
Came out in 1996- was a game that I was obsessed with at 7 years old. It essentially was a series of puzzle games with adjustable difficulties, and it was educational too!
Well sort of...
It was a bunch of brain games and they tested spatial reasoning and reaction time. One game was called Primordial soup and it had you control these little amoebae that had to eat food and kill and eat the other species of amoebae and be the dominant amoebae.
Another one had you organizing traffic in a future city.
Another one had you teach cavemen to play music.
My nostalgia was so strong that I remembered GHOST WRITER! The TV series about a weird ghost in a computer that could read anything the main kids typed into a computer, the villain was a hacker named "Max Mouse" who did things like email everyone in the school that the principal was dead in the first episode.
Aaah ... old things... :)

The style is very familiar though and gives me nostalgia for ads of the era. My gaming youth was pretty patchy though tbh. We had someone’s old PC for a few years (a MS DOS I think?) which I used exclusively to play Battle Chess and BattleZone. At school there was a before-school club for kids whose parents started work early, and there they had a BBC Micro left over from when they bought a load for educational purposes in the 80s, so I obsessively played a few 8-bit platformers over and over again. Mostly Chuckie Egg and Donkey Kong It was those kinds of games, online flash games and then it was PSOne games when my uncle came back from the US with one of those when it came out.

Sadly, I'm old enough to have played both Dr. Brain's Castle and Island titles! Fortunately, I'm still able to remember! The heydey of Sierra Online really was a special time in computer gaming. If you can find it (be surprised if it's not abandonware), I highly recommend [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jones_in_the_Fast_Lane]Jones in the Fast Lane[/url] and the [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quest_for_Glory]Quest For Glory[/url] games.
