These files can be opened, tested and edited by the dBase III application.

The file extension .db3 is also used by the 3rd installment of the Dr. Brain series of educational puzzle games. Dr. Brain is a video game that revolves around the adventures of a scientist. The main character invents a time machine so that he can go back in time to find his missing keys. However, the time machine malfunctions and sends Dr. Brain to an alternative universe. The object of the game is to solve the puzzles so that Dr. Brain can return to his own dimension.

There are four games in the Dr. Brain series. The third game is called The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain. Unlike the first games, this one focuses more on puzzles and abandons the adventure element. The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain uses the .db3 file extension for its saved games.
