Audubon Wildlife Adventure - Whales
Played: early 90s
OS: either DOS or win 3.1 GFX: very few colors (16? 32?) Style: Point and Click Adventure/Educational The game had several different "sub-games" to play, all pretty much point and click, and all offering educational entertainment about whales. In one game, you play a CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE as a newbie marine biologist who responds to a beached whale. I believe you could access a town map to visit different buildings and people to help you make decisions on how to best help the whale. In another game, players were on a PHOTO EXPEDITION and had to click the mouse as a whale fluked (showed its tail) then match the unique markings to other photos whales. People with a sound card could also "record" whale noises and try to match vocalizations. And in another game (perhaps the best) you played as a kid who moved to an old whaling town. And as you navigate around your house and town (all via clicking on icons on a map) you learned about the history of whaling through various mystery style clues. There was also the ghost of a remorseful whaler who wanted you to help him. Given the nature of the game and its relative obscurity, google searching has proven fruitless. Thanks |
Is it not EcoQuest, by the chance?

Here's more to the description. I found this on another blog (but no answer on it either) but at least I'm not crazy:

Its a shame, this game greatly influenced who I became in life, so I'd love to see it again. |
If you include the Apple IIgs platform (from your additional info) then these games might fit your description: Whales, Animal Watch: Whales. Very few screenshots on the linked pages, but I guess you could check with an emulator to be sure. Doesn't seem like there are PC versions of them, though.

- Quest for Glory I (remake) - Eco Quest 2 - Red Baron - Whales (evidently). But... maybe I'm having a glitch in the matrix. I'll see if I can get these to work on my system. Thanks! |
My link above is emulator with game in browser. Check it. :)

This is an old thread but I've been trying to find this game for ages. Thanks for the link, Smiling Spectre. I can't get it to work, though, and may be confused on how to use the emulator. It boots the game, but after the game asks you to put in your name, it tells you to put in disk 2. I can't figure out how to make that happen. Any help would be very appreciated. c:
