[PC] Old Math-based Educational Game tipofmyjoystick

Before I start, it definitely isn't Math Blaster! I rooted through the entire series and unfortunately, that's just not the one. That said, the art style was very similar to Math Blaster 3 or 4.

I distinctly remember playing one math-based computer game in my childhood, but I cannot for the life of me remember the title. I've been plagued by this for years, and this forum is sort of my last effort before I call it quits on actually searching for it.

Some random details stick out a lot. A boy next to a massive refrigerator was on the front of the case I had, and I seem to remember him being blond with pointy hair.

I know the game itself was set in a kitchen, with magnets on a fridge that would let you access a few minigames. I only recall two specific ones: mixing and matching an animal's face by shuffling through vertical slots of various animal features, and a game based around clicking and dragging an array of groceries from a fruit stand to your shopping cart to reach a certain total.

Anybody have any idea? It has to be from the mid-to-late 90s or very, very early 2000s, though I highly doubt the latter. Thanks in advance.

[PC][1980'/90's?]Text based with graphics adventure game from the 90's set in an insane asylum. tipofmyjoystick

I remember playing through this game all the way, but I don't remember more than a few details.

The game was text based with full color graphics. You could not see the protagonist, just a static screen of the room you were in.

I think I found it on an abaondonware site in the early 2000's

One of the puzzles involved you taking an abnormally large pill, and in order to do so you had to find water, plug in a mini-refrigerator underneath a desk, chill the water, and then take the pill with the water. Taking the pill by itself resulted in death and game over.

I also remember a puzzle based on an octopus blocking a hallway.

One puzzle had you investigating a room belonging to a patient with drawing on the walls, and something to do with a mattress.

One was having to distract a guard outside of another patients room.

I believe the game was set in an insane asylum, but the name I remember is not working for my searches, Sanitarium, Sanitorium, Asylum, all names I associate with it, but do not seem to be correct when I search for it.

Any search I get comes up with a game that I am pretty sure is not it(game found is point and click Diablo styled)

I clearly remember text based as it had commands, take, give, put, use, etc...I think there were some light point and click elements like choosing commands, but this was over ten years ago that I played and memory is hazy.

[PC][year unknown] sci fi(ish) myst like game tipofmyjoystick

Played the demo for this a long long time ago and one of the few games I havent been able to find out what it was called.

I remember the following from the demo, which i found on a budget demo disc series end 90s,: It was a myst like point and click(scenic point and click click left to look left click up to walk forward etc) The UI was pretty big and kind of like the pipboy(with green letters etc)? but always on screen. it started out in a desertish environment with a cracked highway in the distance. also a trailer. if you went into the trailer there was a (dirty iirc) refrigerator there which you could open.

I think it was a cyberpunkish game and you played as somekind of a cyborg or the likes. it was the end 90s or maybe early 2000s, more likely 90s though.

any help would be greatly appreciated, I went trough the p&p and myst like list at home of the underdogs but wasnt able to find it there.
