Our kids have had a lot of fun with the game, but it's time for them to move on to something new. This is a great adventure game for kids, about a boy named Adam who meets up with a dolphin from an underwater city inhabited by a variety of sea creatures. Adam helps the dolphin search for Cetus, a great whale who is leader of the underwater city. The game has a strong ecology theme (as you might suspect from the name "Ecoquest"). This game is by Sierra and uses the standard Sierra adventure game interface. It is a bit more challenging and lengthy than the Humongous "Putt Putt" games and not as "cute". In general, it appeals to a somewhat older child. Our kids are 10 and 6 years old, and they solved most of these puzzles by working together on the game. I helped them get past a couple of the tricky parts. This CD version is a full voice "talkie" (the characters talk) and can be played from DOS or Windows. I haven't played the 3.5" disk-based version so I can't compare the two. PRICE is $25 (includes USPS priority mail shipping) ---------------- US orders only please. I need a money order or cashier's check for payment before I can ship the title to you. I've sold items this way before and the folks who purchased my stuff have always been satisfied. Drop me some email if you're interested! Thanks! John Brown
