While it's never too early to teach kids to respect the biosphere, the same may not be true of introducing them to complicated simulations such as Simearth: The Living Planet (FCI, for Super NES), which has more variables (temperature, precipitation, etc.) than a polynomial equation.

Science fans may enjoy it, but most expect to have fun with their games. There is an audience for detailed simulations, however, so the subject matter might prove entertaining.

Super Play Magazine UK
The thing you've got to understand about Sim Earth: The Living Planet is that - no matter how ambitious, original or worthy the game may be - it simply isn't any fun at all to play. It's clunky, it's slow, it looks rubbish, it fails to explain itself properly in use, but - most of all - it fails to properly give yo anything to do. Overall verdict, - Poor presentation is the least of the sins of this overambitious and fatally flawed eco-sim. It's simply tedious in the extreme to play, and should be avoided at all costs.
