video games

From the list, I played "Catch the Sperm" and "Planet Green". "Catch the Sperm" is an educational game designed to promote safer sex practices and raise awareness about AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections. The goal of the game is to shoot condoms out of a condom gun to catch swimming sperm cells and the occasional HIV virus and prevent them from passing.
The "Planet Green" game was an educational game that promoted energy conservation and the development and use of renewable energy sources. In this game, the player helps a small town "go green." The more Eco-friendly and energy saving changes you make, the more points you get. Also, you can read about other global communities and what they are doing to help the environment.
