Hey, I'm trying to figure out the name to a game I played as a kid. It was an educational series where you would go searching a level answering questions about science to find parts needed for a race using the parts to build something.
The main villain sort of looked like Dr. Wily from Mega Man and your character was a faceless guy who wore a blue jacket and a red hat. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Nope? Oh well :)

I would guess it's part of the Super Solver series?

EDIT: In fact, it's probably Gizmos and Gadgets to be precise. :)

Gizmos & Gadgets?

/edit: ninja'd, with a better answer too

Yup, Gizmos and Gadgets.

I played that a lot as a kid. Never could get past one particular part.

Beautiful! Thanks everyone, it was Gizmo and Gadgets. I didn't even know it was part of a series. We are slowly trying to get my nephew into games and thanks to everyone's help, we'll get the next generation of gamers ready. Thanks again everyone :)

Pretty much any game by TLC should be on your list. Not to mention The Oregon Trail, I mean I don't know where I'd be had my families not all died from cholera and/or dysentery.

i love these threads
