Solutions
Please note that every room in the Institute contains a Help Gizmo. With the hints provided there, all puzzles should be manageable. Please only use these solutions if you really cannot solve something.

Solutions:
Monkey Island:
You fight like a wheat farmer. - How appropriate. You are about to receive a threshing.
Two little girls could beat you up. - Lucky me, I’m only facing one.
When I charge, you will climb the highest tree. - I'm always on the lookout for a worthier opponent.
The only enemy you ever vanquished died from laughter. - Maybe I should not have mentioned your wife to him.
Looking at you, it’s hard to suppress a yawn. - And here I thought your face always looked that way.
When I draw my sword, my enemies tremble. - They might laugh less if you got a real one.
I heard you soil your pants in every duel. - True, my opponents' blood can leave nasty stains.

Super Mario Bros.
Dexterity challenge, if you are having trouble, use the Help Gizmo to reduce the number of enemies to 3.
The only advice I can still give you is this: Watch your enemies, not the coins. If you jump over all enemies every round, you will eventually pick up all coins without specifically aiming for them.

Mystery Case Files: Huntsville
The help Gizmo shows all items clear as day. Just click them.
The fuse box can only be seen if you crouch.

Pac-Man
Another dexterity challenge. Toggle the Help Gizmo to keep all collected bits if you die.

Sim City
Enter the numbers in the order given by the tourist guide car. The solution is 957088
1: Skyscraper the dark windows form lines, If you combine the lines on all four side, they form the number 9
2: Hospital: Count the ambulances. There are 5.
3: Power plant: Check the rightmost chimney. Hidden in the smoke, you'll find a 7..
4: Empty field: Nothing on this field. Zero
5: Police station: The race car has the number 8 on it.
6: Park: Digging around here reveals a pickable rock. On it is the number 8.

Pac Man and Mario are unplayable. And the Sim City puzzle is just bad

The Sim City puzzle was impossible to figure out even with hints

I figured it out without hints, but it wasn't clear. The fact that the hospital had a plus sign on top didn't help lol

Here's my brief review:

Monkey Island - 5/5 I think the best one in this compilation. Those witty comebacks gave me a few good chuckles.
Super Mario Bros. - 3/5 A little frustrating, but very much doable. Very simple in its nature. Props to the creator for making it work.
Mystery Case Files - 5/5 This takes me back! Very good throwback, and truly grasped the heart of that genre of gaming. A lot of creativity and use of the game's props for this idea!
Pac-Man - 4/5 A very simple, straightforward game. Not much to say about this one.
Sim City - 2/5 About half of the tourist stops just gave no clues as to what to look for, specifically the Hospital (it was really just that easy to count the cars, huh?), the Power plant (this was the most egregious one, no way would I have checked the smokestack), and the Park (I would have never checked the rock). When having no idea what to look for, it makes the player lost and confused as to whether their answer is correct. And when there's 6 correct answers you have to find with no in-game feedback on which ones are wrong, it's a recipe for frustration and players giving up.
