You can choose to collect dinosaur eggs from caves in the land of Prehistoria or herd kittens in the world of Augmentia. You can save trapped aliens in Alien Scape and keep the park clean and rescue the trees in Evergreen. Or perhaps you may choose to help the robots find their lost parts in Robotica!
