I don't have any screenshots off hand, but the Survival Kids/Lost in Blue series fits in here. Mostly on handhelds, and done by Konami. Survival Kids is on the Gameboy Color, Lost in Blue 1-3 on the DS, and Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked on the Wii.

They're each about a kid(s), or teenager/young adult(s), getting shipwrecked on an island, and having to gather food and supplies to survive, while also working to find a way off. Sometimes you turn out to not be alone on the island, but in at least one case the other people are more detrimental to your survival than helpful.

Gameplay generally has you walking around gather the necessary supplies, while keeping an eye on your hunger, rest, and thirst meters, and those of any companions. You can combine items to make tools and the like, such as a bow or cooking supplies. You end up having to work hard at keeping yourself alive in the beginning, until you start getting the ability to find or make more filling foods, build shelter, and all that sort of stuff.

I've not played LiB 3, or Shipwrecked, but the first three games are pretty good at scratching the survival game itch.
