Dr. Brain Copyrights?

I never played any of the games in Sierra's Dr. Brain series, but I did play the demo on the KQ6 CD, and I caught the reference in QFGs IV and V. But does anyone know if the copyrights for DR. Brain were sold? I remember several years ago that several Dr. Brain puzzle games were being sold at the local software shops in my area, but they weren't published by Sierra. Anyone have an answer?

The copyrights are with Vivendi. Sierra made 4 games in the series (Castle of Dr. Brain, Island of Dr. Brain, The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain and The Time Warp of Dr. Brain), and at some point after Sierra was sold, Knowledge Adventure, part of Vivendi, released 3 other games in the series.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Brain for a more detailed description.

Both The Lost Mind and The Time Warp should be easy to find cheaply on eBay. I don't know about the others, but I'd imagine the Knowledge Adventure are also readily available.

What? Why do I only know the first two. I feel like such a Sierra newb right now. Which I am not. No. I played kq2 in black and white. With a lot of stripes covering the screen. And a grey square who called herself a witch.

Aha. I never knew that Knowledge Adventure was part of Vivendi. Thanks.
