Yes, Dolphin Boating Simulator is a real thing, and no, it’s not about dolphins driving boats (sadly). Released in 1988, this oddball DOS sim tasks you with navigating speedboats around watery tracks while avoiding obstacles. The “dolphin” in the title refers more to the company behind it than to any actual aquatic mammals, though it’s fun to imagine a dolphin in sunglasses at the wheel. Gameplay is simple but addictive: steer, accelerate, and try not to smash into buoys. The graphics are basic, the sound effects minimal, but there’s a weird charm to its no-frills approach to water-based racing.
