Greenpeace has a bunch of great little flash games on their site to “help Greenpeace save the planet.” The unsubstantiated rumor is that some of the recent ones were made by Future Farmers which wouldn’t surprise me given that Future Farmers is a progressive and very environmentally conscious design firm.
Many of the Greenpeace games are small and quick loading, with fun pixel graphics. But they really work because of their scope. These aren’t all encompassing games to ‘save the world’ in every sense. The game play and concept revolve around small and direct local actions on specific issues, mirroring effective activism. Game concepts include: “Move your tiny inflatable craft in front of the harpoon to save the whale!”, “Save the planet from your desktop! Battle poachers and evil submarines to rescue endangered species,” and “Guide your Greenpeace submersible to block the discharge pipe of the La Hague nuclear plant.”
Nice work Greenpeace.. Now if only these games were better promoted and not tucked deeply within your site.
