Childrens game consisting of many small games

Question

I remember a game from when I was a little kid, but don't recall the title, so I thought I would try my luch and see if any of you can help me. Here is what I can remember of it:

Time period

I believe the game came bundled with a Windows 95 PC, so it's from around that time period.

Game selection screen

The game started here. On this, a large UFO flew onto screen, and shot down 5-6 shots, each one becoming a minigame you could play.

The minigames

• Marble sandbox. There was a wooden surface, which you could manipulate with drills and such to make a marble track. You could then put marbles on it and play with them.
• Photo manipulation game. You were given a photo and a manipulated version of the same photo, and then had to chain the correct filters to match the manipulated one.
• Football half-time show. You could place cheerleaders and football players onto the field, and then program them to perform a half-time show. Each type of person could be given different orders.
• Place the aliens correctly-puzzle. Sort of like a zebra puzzle, you were given some aliens and house with rooms, which formed a grid. You then had to place the aliens in the correct rooms, such that the requirements they gave you held true.
• Squid trading game. There was a map of the world, with places you trade certain things. (For instance, a baseball to a coin, or an apple to two oranges) You then had certain starting resources, and had to reach some ending resources. You did the trading through a squid who phoned the different places to perform the trade.

There's probably one or two minigames missing, but that's what I can remember of it.

Additional information

The computer was an Amitech, and it was purchased in Denmark. I do not recall if the game was in English or in Danish.

Answer

I managed to figure out the name of the game; it's called Tankespil 3 (translated: Thinking Game 3). It's in Danish and was sold by Nordic Softsales.

Sadly it doesn't appear to be sold anymore.

In case anyone is curious, I found it through an old Amitech computer manual, which I happened to stumble upon. Thanks go to agent86 for giving me the idea to search for that.
