Can we talk about that old Sierra game where you clean up the ocean?
I was just remembering EcoQuest from back in the day... where you play as a kid fixing oil spills and helping sea creatures. It really pushed the idea of taking care of the environment through simple puzzles. It's wild how a game from the 90s was already warning about pollution... and now it's pretty much lost to time.

Actually it was about saving a dolphin from getting caught in fishing nets. The pollution part was a big barrel of bad stuff dumped in the ocean, not an oil spill. You had to find a special sponge creature to clean it up. The game really was ahead of its time talking about runoff and waste. I played it so much the floppy disk wore out.

Oh man, my buddy's kid found his old copy and got totally stuck on that sponge puzzle. He called me for help like it was a real emergency, lmao.
