Anti-whaling game targets Japanese ships Updated - 1/9/2010 - abc news online.
The international debate over whaling in the Southern Ocean has entered a new frontier: video games. Greenpeace and a Netherlands-based video game developer have created Ship Simulator Extremes, a PC game that allows players to take control of famous Greenpeace ships and re-enact real-life campaigns on the high seas. Some of the campaigns take place off the southern coast of Australia and require players to save whales from Japanese whaling vessels. One campaign is based on a confrontation in 2008 in which an inflatable Greenpeace boat attempted to stop a Japanese whaling vessel, the Nisshin Maru, from refuelling. Another campaign requires players to chase the Nisshin Maru across hundreds of kilometres of rough seas in the Southern Ocean.
