About Eco-Saurus

In Eco-Saurus, players assume the role of an Environmental Conservation Official assisting a dinosaur named Zug. The primary objective involves restoring Eco Island and gathering resources to repair an alien spacecraft, which is necessary for the character M-Kar's return journey.

The core activity consists of using the mouse to collect litter scattered across each screen. This material must be sorted into appropriate recycling bins or discarded if it is not recyclable. This process is described as easy to learn.

The setting is populated with various speaking characters, whose vocalizations have a synthesized, robotic quality. Visual presentation utilizes VGA graphics depicting cartoon dinosaurs, elements intended to engage a younger audience. The game's educational purpose is to instruct players on concepts related to energy conservation and recycling.
