Synopsis
Welcome to Brainscape! You will have the unique opportunity of learning neuroanatomy by wandering around inside of your brain. There are 50 locations available for exploration, including the ventricular system, limbic system, sensory and motor systems, and cortical and brainstem regions. There are also treasures to be found, problems to be overcome, and a few denizens of the brain to be met.
Notes
The original game was written in Pascal by W. Jeffrey Wilson and Lynne Ostergren, Department of Psychological Sciences, Indiana University - Purdue University at Fort Wayne; see here for further details. The copyright is 1985 by Purdue Research Foundation, West Lafayette, Indiana, but it's freeware. The latest known version is version 1.2, released on 23 January 1986.
The game was ported to AGT by David Malmberg in 1992, by modifying the Turbo Pascal 1.2 code.

A curious educational vehicle, which somehow works as an adventure despite the zaniness of the scenario, due to non-trivial obstacles in the way. It worked for me, in the sense that I learnt a lot more about neurophysiology while playing it. It's not exactly a standard game and it yields easily, but it's kind of amusing to solve optimally.
