Animal Quest (1991)
A turn-based game where you pick an animal to play and move about a grid, trying to catch prey and avoid predators. Plants and animals are assigned positions in the food chain, and each animal eats different kinds of food. Animals you're trying to eat may eat some of the plants and animals that you consider food before you do. There are options to click on each creature to get a description of them, or see where they stand in the food chain, as far as what creatures are their predators and their prey. You gain points for eating other creatures and lose points for being caught by predators. Eating animals adds more points to your score than eating plants. When you get a score of 49, you gain the ability to move diagonally, which makes it much easier to hunt and avoid predators. The ability is lost if your score drops below 49. Version 1.5 added SVGA graphics. Version 4.0 added a fourth episode and removed SVGA graphics modes. There are 4 episodes in this game, with only Forest Animals being playable in the shareware version.

I've been searching for the name of this game for so long! After all these years, I still remember that opening tune and all the other tunes by heart! Best kids game ever!

Same!
I have been trying to find this game for YEARS! My brother in law found it in like 20 minutes after a few VERY vague descriptions & then linked me to this video..... Oh my goodness it's as I remember!!!!! 20 YEARS AGO!
Omg I have such deep memories of playing this!! Like I don’t know how to explain it. Thanks for bringing back my childhood in a way
The waves of nostalgia are real.
Ah, this takes me back. I used to play the heck out of this game 24 years ago. Bear ftw.

Played this game around the same time, 22-23 years ago probably, AND now, beating all my previous records! Back then only had the shareware versions, forest animals only, recently I found a version for all 4 types of animals.
OMFG I have been searching for this game for so many years. Couldn't figure out for the life of me what it was. Tried so many times to google for it, why now it comes up. Much love.
Omg thank you. Been searching too for this. It was my fav game when i was like a size of a beer bottle. The opening music is just gold. Simple and pure times.
I remember that if you choose to play as a bear, hunters won't appear

Yes, because bears in this game don't have any predators; likewise, in the jungle animals, the pygmy hunts basically all animals but not the lion, so the lion there has no predators, just like the white shark, the ray and the whale, if I didn't forget any, in the ocean animals.
I remember playing this in grade 2. We only had a couple computers in the class, and this was the best game to play!

Same here!
I bet the developers tried so hard to make this game as easily as possible. I can tell by looking at how this game is structured :P
I loved this game so much and it still looks like fun to play!
This is quite an awsome game actually. Simple and enjoyable while being a real cute kids game and a minor amount of edutainment ;-)
This game.... the memories!
this game was the shii . looks different than what I remember though
I think I remember a game very similar to this involving dinosaurs, and another one (or possible the same one) involving ice-age creatures (including ancient humans). Can anyone confirm and name?

alivesoft thank you for the childhood memories! I had both of them as shareware versions. The “difficult” animals are practically impossible to get a good score with. I’ll admit I mostly stuck to the easy ones.

@@Biospark88 Who said that animal life is easy or fair! Actually most of the difficult situations could be resolved by making the predator follow you in the direction you choose.
Remember playing this game as a kid! So simple and addictive, an easy game to wind down to. I just downloaded the version from abandonware with dosbox but the controls are funky, you have to use the mouse which is super annoying, has anyone got a workaround for this?
ow. plssss put donwload this game. :(
