I’m surprised to see games like Zork Zero listed in games with Animal Protagonists. Brief transformations aside, this isn’t what I’d be looking for, were I interested in a catalog of games featuring animals as main characters.
Go ahead and add it! You could add the game page too. You might get the bug (animal pun not consciously intended).
That has been on the list since the second edit of the page, on 25 October 2005, 20 years ago this month! At least it goes on to explain why it’s on the list. The first edit summary was “I am bored and lists are fun”. I’m glad you like them!
Since you brought it up, I added it to this list, created the game page for it, and also added it to the list of games sorted by the year in which they take place, in which it’s currently the earliest entry.
I have to say, the game database entry form and the game citation link format made this a lot easier than it looks like it would have been otherwise.
This made me think ‘An animal is the main character’ might be a less ambiguous title. Then I reviewed protagonist in the dictionary and that’s what it means (or One Of the leading characters). Yet for some reason the plainer English version seems less ambiguous to me. ‘animal protagonist’ could be a tag on ifdb where anything where an animal is the PC, even temporarily, feels like it could have that tag. At least that’s how I use tags over there. In an incident-cataloguey way. But lists can have more specific titles and act in different ways because you’ve got all the words you like to describe the list contents without those words having to double as the exact search term.
