Additional Comments

After much rumor and speculation about its existence, a prototype for this game was finally found in early 2002. Save the Whales had long been rumored to have been playable on the short-lived Gameline network, although nobody could actually remember playing the game. The game was actually supposed to be part of a trio of eco-friendly games designed by Steve Beck to raise money for various charities and organizations. The other two games in the series Dutch Elm Defender and Attack of the Baby Seals were never programmed. Proceeds from Save the Whales would have gone to Greenpeace, but since the game was never released they didn't get anything.
The cart, box and manual are reproductions from 2002 with permission of programmer Steve Beck.
