Description of Eco-Saurus

To shortly resume Eco-Saurus, it's about educational and . It was done by First Byte in 1991. Feel free to download and try it!

Eco-Saurus is an excellent edutainment title from First Byte. Designed to teach kids about environmental conservation, you join friendly dinosaur Zug as an Environmental Conservation Official (E.C.O.) on a mission to save Eco Island and rescue his alien friend M-Kar. By conserving energy and collecting recyclable materials from local inhabitants, you will help restore Eco Island, rebuild M-Kar's spacecraft, and provide enough power to fuel his flight home. The game is very easy to learn: just use the mouse to pick up the garbage on each screen and puts them in the right recycle bin (or just throw the trash away if it's non-recycleable). You will meet many colorful inhabitants of Eco Island, each of whom even can speak, albeit with the robotlike sound similar to Sound Blaster's early Dr. Sbaitso. Kids will be attracted by the fun gameplay, funny cartoon dinosaurs, and very nice VGA graphics. The game could have used a more in-depth database, but as a title developed for youngsters (preschoolers and primary school level), Eco-Saurus has the right balance of education and fun to keep kids glued to the screen. Two thumbs up!

Tried to run this file, and like every other version of this game I've found, it freezes up during the intro movie where the spaceship is puttering around. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but I cant imagine what.

ECO-Saurus is an environmental game where you have to pick up any recyclable material, put it in the right bin, and recycle the materials into what is needed to help M-Kar rebuild his spaceship and get back to his planet. The materials are aluminum, glass, paper, plastic, and organic waste. Some characters have bonus materials such as an aluminum foil ball, a plastic pail, and even old paper scripts. You can even get bonus points for hearing a helpful hint about recycling, so be sure to talk to everyone--and everything!--you meet. Also, be sure to turn off all unnecessary electricity and running water, and watch out for the dastardly Mr. Bronto! He's the messiest character of all and can be quite a pest. He has a bonus item, too--a bag of trash. Keep talking to him until you get it. Happy recycling!
