Ocean Apocalypse is an arcade game built for Greenpeace as part of a shock campaign against John West canned tuna. The aim of the game is to kill as many marine life in the most graphically disturbing way possible, and the punch line is – the machine dispenses a can of John West tuna as the winning game prize.
