[PC] Kids games form 2000s, came with a book had weird characters

Post by Footolas »

I can't remember the name of this games all i do remember is it had the weird brain character with glasses, I believe it started of with a kid getting sucked into a computer.

Think this was a point and click game.

Was one scene I remember when you click on this sign that said "KFP" and the giant chicken walks out and eats a person, kfp to stand for Kentucky fried people.

Really weird game

I don't know, but maybe it's something from the 'Dr Brain' series? But what I see, this Dr. Brain is a normal person, not just a brain.

OTOH, looking for KFP I found this funny picture: https://www.redbubble.com/people/jazzas ... 135557-kfp

I'm not sure of the gameplay, was it like a normal old adventure, picking up items & combining them to solve puzzles, or was it simpler?

I looked at some games with instant death scenes and found this thing: Brain Dead 13
It seems to play much like the old arcade games, choose the wrong way and you get killed, but not much inventory I think.
There is a brain in one of the screenshots, but I did not see any chicken..

The chicken isn't a part of the game its in one level in the background, and when you click on the kfp sign i chicken comes out clucking and eats a person.

Just that stuck with one bit but love to find the game and remember one of the main characters can't remember the story much but your a kid and you woke up and before school jump on your computer and get sucked it to it and the guy who looks like a brin with short legs and big glasses asked for your help

Think game play was a point and click adventer type

Educational? Side view or other? 2D or 3D? Was there an inventory?

No brain in the screenshots, but still...provided the game started with 'O':
OOO

So does the graphics style look similar, or is there some other game that reminds you of your missing title?

More pixely, meaning it is an older game?
Hmm...maybe Companions of Xanth?

It has the player character teleported to Xanth through a computer game, and was sold with the original book by Piers Anthony included.
