Harpooned

Harpooned: The game
Jan 18, 2008 - 9:23 AM

A developer from Melbourne way has put this little game together about

up on their own merits even without the political wrapping.

Quote:

Ever wanted to play the role of a Japanese science vessel performing “very important research” on Antarctic whales? You know, that super special type of research that supposedly involves killing and eating them? Yeah, that kind.
