Hi folks. I'm working on a paper that deals with PC/console games and educational genres, particularly topics about the environment (since this is related to the class I'm taking), and I figure this would be a good place to start my research.
The ones I've found and played from ages ago, include the following:
Eco Quest 1: The Search for Cetus
Eco Quest 2: Lost Secrets of The Rainforest
Eco-Saurus (a.k.a. Zug's Adventures on Eco-Island)
Earth Quest
Pepper's Adventures in Time
Island of Dr. Brain
(the last two aren't really about the environment, but I thought they were good educational examples to include anyway.)
If you've played these games, I would be interested in your thoughts about it, and whether they were helpful in teaching you something about environmental issues and things like that. Was it effective? Are there any other games (maybe something more recent) that you'd suggest to add to the roster?
Thanks for all your potential insight.
