For years now I've been trying to figure out the name of a computer game that I played as a very young child. I lost the disc back then and ever since have been searching for what it was.
Outside Information:
Information About the Game Itself:
If anyone has any questions for me, I will be happy to answer. Thank you in advance!
EDIT:
Today I found this Reddit post where OP mentions the same terrarium game, and after watching some footage of the game I positively identified as the same one I played as a kid. Case closed!
Outside Information:
- The game was an edutainment game on a CD-ROM.
- The game ran on Windows XP, however it wasn't necessarily developed for that system.
- The game was released no later than 2006, however it was likely released in the mid-to-late 90's, as we had numerous computer games from then.
- I don't know what the box art looked like because I only had the disc. I do not remember what the disc looked like.
Information About the Game Itself:
- The gameplay was a collection of a few simple minigames, each one hosted by a different character.
- The game consisted of 2D graphics.
- The only game I remember anything about was a game where you crated a terrarium. The game specifically used the word "terrarium," and the game consisted of you choosing things like pebble color and plants for a lizard to live in.
- I only remember two characters from the game. The first is a robot boy, who had either yellow or orange hair and possibly rode a skateboard. I remember this character specifically because I drew a picture of him at my grandparent's house when I was ~4 years old, which they kept on the wall in their living room for years. I unfortunately do not have a picture of my drawing, but I might be able to provide one when I go back home next month if anyone would like to see it.
- The other character was the host/mascot of the game, who I remember to be a large purple walrus. I am not concrete on this however, because I may be conflating him with Rotor from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. I do know for a fact that he was a large animal, possibly a walrus, bear, or hippo.
If anyone has any questions for me, I will be happy to answer. Thank you in advance!
