There have been some interesting attempts in the past to replicate RPG’s to push a certain idea. WolfQuest, a PC game designed by the good people at Minnesota Zoo, allows you to act out the part of a wolf, roaming Yellowstone Park for meat and other wolf needs. Perhaps a mate?

The first episode, called “Amethyst Mountain” is aimed at grabbing the minds of 10-15 year olds back to nature. “We’re hoping to capture some of those kids back with this game,” says a spokesman from Minnesota Zoo, who claims that many members of the younger generation have stopped interacting with nature because of, well, video games. So, if you can’t beat them, join them? The game is available free from the WolfQuest site. — Andrew Dobrow
