My friend is trying to remember the name of a game she used to play in school way back when, kind of the Oregon Trail era.
You were a fish and you had to swim around and try to decide if you should eat another fish or swim away. Occasionally an osprey would swoop in to eat you... That's about all the details I have. I'm certain someone here will remember.

Odell Lake is the correct title. It came out in 1981ish and was a broderbund educational game, if memory serves.
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .
Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
Dwight Eisenhower

Odel Lake!? OMFG! I loved that game! Back in Elementary school, I would play that any chance I got on the school computers. Along with some sort of alien/robot game, where you mixed and matched arms, legs, heads, bodys to make interesting characters. Think it involved basic math problems too. Anyone remember that one?
