A game that once was

A long long time ago, Ben Linden made a game. You sit in a chair on the docks and you guide a bird to eat fish without drowning. The bird moves slow underwater. If you dive from way up high, the bird can go deeper under water. If you catch a lot of fish at once (a multi-fish combo), you can get bonus points. The more fish you catch in one go, the more points, and even more time.

All of this is in the strategy guide by the chair on the docks. I don't ever recall seeing this game working before though. I sit in the chair and go into mouse look mode as it instructs, but I never see or hear anything. It seems to have been abandoned. I've sent a message to ben linden, but I never get a response about it. I visited the game today and found that the docks are still missing.

The thing is, this game is sitting in a high-traffic welcome area on the waterhead sim. I'm really interested in seeing how this game works. Perhaps one day, we will be able to catch fish again.
