It's Like Gold, Only Liquidy: Quest For Oil


Oil! The fossilized organic materials on which our civilisation is critically dependent - that does seem pretty weird when you take a step back to consider it, right? - Oil!

One such company is Maersk, Danish mega-conglomerate, who have promoted the fine activity of sucking black ooze out of nature with a videogame. What better way to educate? It's called Quest For Oil, and in it you can analyse findings and drill and so forth. For oil, I mean.
