Genres:Adventure, Point-and-click
Themes:Educational, Kids
Game modes:Single player
Story:In EcoQuest: The Search for Cetus, the player is cast into the role of Adam, the twelve-year-old son of the famous ecologist Noah Greene. One day, his father rescues a dolphin from an abandoned fish net. As Adam becomes more friendly with the creature, he is amazed to discover that the dolphin can talk! Adam finds out that his new friend is Delphineus, the messenger of the whale king Cetus. As a qualified scuba diver, Adam is chosen to venture into the underwater kingdom of animals known as Eluria, and help its inhabitants.
The game's interface and basic gameplay are similar to those of other Sierra adventures: the player interacts with the environment by selecting icons that represent verb commands ("Look", "Talk", "Use", etc.) and applying them to objects or characters. Compared to most other adventure games by the same company, the difficulty level is lower, with the intention of making the game more suitable for younger players; for instance, it is impossible to "die" or get irrevocably stuck in the game.
Despite its supernatural elements, EcoQuest contains educational material. The inhabitants of the deep see are realistically depicted, and there is plenty of information concerning their life habits, environment, and the threats posed to them by human beings.Show more

I have such warm memories of this game. I loved that it was educational and that there you couldn't die in the game. I remember that it came with a booklet that I learned a lot about recycling and the keeping the planet green.
It was a fantastic game, and I miss it. I never got to play the sequel, and I'd love to see that on GOG some day, too.
EcoQuest is one of the first games I remember being "mine." My older brother didn't play it, just me! Sure, there's a score to max out in The Search for Cetus, but I was more than happy just progressing the story. There's something about cleaning up the bottom of the ocean and seeing the local fish inhabitants begrudgingly thank you that had me hooked!

You may choose to play as a Crusader, a Witch or a Mercenary – in fact each one might well be required if you are to successfully complete your quest – but knowing when to use each one is something you are going to have to figure out for yourself.Action
