''[[EcoQuest]]'' is a series of two adventure games by ''[[Sierra]] entertainment'', designed primarily for younger audiences. The story follows Adam Greene, a young boy and son of an ecologist, who has a remarkable tendency to meet talking animals and be recruited to save their dying animal kingdoms from some hazard inflicted by mankind.
In the first game, ''"The Search for Cetus"'', Adam meets a talking Dolphin that's been nursed back to health at a Marine Biological Institution after being trapped in a fishing net. He releases the dolphin back into the wild, but the dolphin later comes back to request his aid. Adam travels to an underwater kingdom, consisting mostly of ancient grecian ruins, and populated by a wide variety of talking marine life (anything from manatees to clownfish seem to be able to hold an intelligent conversation here). It appears that the ruler of this kingdom, an old and wise sperm whale, has gone missing, and Adam must find him. To make matters worse, a gigantic manta ray mutated by a hidden underwater radioactive waste dump, has been terrorizing the kingdom and must be stopped.
Line 8:
Both games are characterized by cartoonish character portraits and accessibility to children, and are some of the rare examples of Sierra games where the protagonist cannot die (no [[Have a Nice Death]] screen, otherwise a Sierra adventure staple). Both games also have a pixel-hunt side-quest where Adam must pick up litter (in both games) or record wildlife and ecological disturbances (in the second game). Expect a lot of Ecological Aesops, and yeah, talking animals.

* [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Friendly Playful Dolphin]]: Befriending a dolphin is what leads the main character on his adventure.
* [[Game Over]]: Unlike the vast majority of adventure games by [[Sierra]], it's impossible to die or lose the game (except... see [[Unwinnable By Mistake]], below).
