OK...

Operation Neptune

(But I didn't Google it - I Wikipedia-ed it.
...
After Googling to find the answer to #14.
...
Because I didn't notice that you had put the answer to that in #18.)

Thank you! I was getting real desperate around 13

1) An interstellar premise - The story is that an intersteller probe sending information back to Earth has had some sort of error
2) But you never see space - The game takes place in the oceans of Earth
3) It's a recovery mission - Where you have to recover the broken pieces of the probe
4) Also, a rescue mission - the probe is polluting the ocean so you must find the pieces quickly
5) Some resource management - You've got to monitor your oxygen levels and your ammo
6) Non lethal solutions only - while you encounter dangerous life. You do not kill it you simple confuse it using ink pellets
7) Why is there a calculator on the dashboard? - You will use this to solve problems throughout the game
8) Oh this is educational - Edutainment, specifically math.
9) My first code cracking - To end each level of the game you must decipher a code
10) Sail the... five seas? - There are five distinct zones in the game, showing off different ocean biomes
11) Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally - As I said it is a game where you have to solve math problems, one of the things they try to trick you up on is order of operations.
12) The pellets they do nothing! - In the last level of the game, on easy mode, there are enemies which are unaffected by your ink pellets
13) The name of the game is also the name of your vessel - The submarine is called the Neptune.
14) From the people who brought you Carmen Sandiego and Super Solvers - The Learning Company (they bought Borderbund)
15) Under the sea - You pilot a submarine
16) It's up to you to ensure this operation succeeds - I was hinting at the title of the game
17) From the developer of Midnight Rescue and and Challenge of the Ancient Empires - Two of the learning companies big games
18) The Learning Company made this game it became part of the Super Solver Series - Just trying to give it away
19) You Pilot a Submarine - still trying to give it away

So I did have to look this up and I had done that before False encouraged us to do so. So is everyone still OK with me going next (I do have something in mind) or should I open it up for someone else to take a turn?
