Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Edit: I'm pretty sure the game was "Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets!" and I was remembering the intro/home screen!
I used to play this edutainment title in the early 90s. All i can remember is cartoonish art, a professor or scientist or something and you had to solve puzzles by building machines i think?
Most likely it's The Incredible Machine by Sierra. https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_incredible_machine_mega_pack
The game I remember had a top down view, and looked more modern than that. It might have been a late DOS game but our computer at that time ran windows 3.1 on top so it could have been an early windows game too.
