It was a puzzle game series...I think it was called Dr. Strange? There was a castle one and an island one. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Ben,

Its here, http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/49/Castle+of+Dr.+Brain.html
Shame to admit it but I know almost all of the 90's adventure games like the back of my hand still.

Dr. Brain is a series of educational games made by Sierra On-Line in the 1990s. The objective of each game is solving a series of puzzles in order to proceed further into the game. The series was later picked up by Knowledge Adventure who turned it into a more action-oriented game.

The original two games were created by an in-house team at Sierra.[citation needed] After the second game was released, Sierra acquired another company, Bright Star Technology, known for its educational games. The series was turned over to a Bright Star team, explaining the change in direction from the second game to the third.[1]

Dr. Brain is an elderly absentminded professor. Dr. Brain was 'reincarnated' as Dr. Cranium in Quest for Glory IV (both Dr. Brain and Quest for Glory series are designed by Corey Cole, though Dr. Cranium mentions once that one of his descendants would get "his very own game".).

Sierra Games

* Castle of Dr. Brain (1991) - The first game placed the player trying to solve puzzles relating to Logic and Math in order to win a job at Dr. Brain's Castle.
* The Island of Dr. Brain (1992) - The second hosts a variety of problems, including language, math, and art, to restore power on Dr. Brain's Island.
* The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain (1995) - The third game abandons the adventure game theme of the first two, and is more of a straight puzzle game. For example, there are only eleven puzzles, most must be repeated many times, and the player can switch between puzzles at any time; all of these contrast with the original games. The puzzles are based on the theory of multiple intelligences, and the player must restore Dr. Brain's mind with the help of his niece Elena and his lab rat, Rathbone, who has gained all of the Doctor's knowledge.
* The Time Warp of Dr. Brain (1996) - The fourth and final Sierra game places players with puzzles similar to Lost Mind, trying to bring Dr. Brain out of a time loop.

I loved Hugo

Hugo's House of Horrors
Hugo 2: Whodunit
Hugo 3: Jungle of Doom

Jungle of Doom was the best in my opinion
