One of the quirkiest edutainment titles ever made, The Secret Island of Dr.Quandary is a fun educational adventure game for kids ages 8 and up. The plot is a wacky combination of science and superstition: while playing a carnival game at a mysterious circus, you are sucked into a carnival doll by the evil Dr. Quandary. To escape the toy's body, you must beat Dr. Quandary at his own game by solving the myriad of puzzles on his island.
Gameplay is similar to Sierra's classic Castle of Dr. Brain: inventory-based adventure game with educational bent to most puzzles. The quality of the puzzles varies widely, though-- some, such as Acid Test, purely are arcade mini-games with very little "education" content, while others (such as "programming" a frog to get through a gate, and algebra-related puzzls) are very well implemented.

As far as I can see, the internal file also holds both b/w and colour.
The Secret Island of Dr. Quandary with both B&W and color files.
Still looking for my CD of this.

This is now a Disk Copy 6.3 disk image, stuffed with Stuffit 5.5
Trying to run this game in Mini vMac, the game asks for its b/w graphics file, which must be missed here.
I've looked for this game for YEARS! YEARS! I don't remember how I got the game originally, but I lost it back in...'98 or so. Brings back such a good feeling... Such a diamond in the rough, this one. Kind of a creepy game, too.. especially since I played it as a kid. Once again, MacGardens blesses me with treasures.
Wow as soon as I saw the screen shot, this game came right back to me. Only played the Demo version at the time though.
I tried to open it in the SoftMac emulator (which I use just for Testing new games and Apps)
and after reading your post, I tried in Basilisk with Stuffit 5.5 and it does exactly the same
(doesn't open)
..well, nevermind, I think I'll pass on this one.
File is not corrupted.
when I tried to unstuff it, the Stuff it app suddenly opens and closes but it doesn't do nothin
the file might be corrupted or am I using an incompatible version of Stuff it for this game?
I'm using Stuffit 5.0
I think this game was a bit creepy when I was younger. I beat the game several times in the DOS version, but I think I'll beat it again using a mac =). Great game!!
