I worked on this game!

Recently, I suddenly vaguely recalled some scenes from this childhood game, especially the levels related to optics (lenses refracting laser beams and the mixing of different colors) and electricity (dry batteries, storage batteries, switches, resistors, light bulbs). At that time, my favorite part was probably refracting laser beams to mix colors, and connecting a bunch of batteries in series to burn out resistors and light bulbs. Looking back, it has been decades now. Fortunately, with the help of Doubao AI, I found this game and retrieved fragments of my childhood memories. This comment is from China.

I loved this game as a kid -- especially the light and electricity sections. I attribute a lot of my early interest in STEM as a kid to this game. =]

I've been trying to find this game for YEARS! All I could remember was the circuit minigame with Serge and him being yellow. I combed through the JumpStart games wiki thinking it would be there, and finally I found it here!

I have been looking for this game for YEARS!! I couldn't remember the name at all, just the flashes of what I remember playing as a kid, but after searching through the games here (which was so much easier than I expected) I finally FOUND IT!! Thank you!!! Time to get sucked in all over again!

I really loved this game as a kid, I loved the design in everything and I thought it was really neat how it taught sound and circuits and stuff, I have never seen that in any other edu games.
