Originally to be released in 1983 by 20th Century Fox, this game was not released during the Atari 2600's lifetime. "Save The Whales" is a game in which the player, as a submarine, must protect whales by stopping nets, harpoons, and radioactive waste.

The game was one of three whichs sales were to raise funds for environmental groups. The other two "Dutch Elm Defender" and "Attack of the Baby Seals" were never programmed.

"Save the Whales" was thought to be lost until it was rediscovered in 2002 and thereafter sold at the 2002 Classic Gaming Expo.
