Creatures Games?


It's probably a long shot, but has anyone here ever heard of or played the Creatures series of computer games? I'm a huge fan of the series, and I have a blog where I enjoy chronicling my Norns' lives, and delving into some other areas of the games. I started playing Creatures 1 a long time ago, and its timeless charm makes it one of my favorite games! I could go on and on about the games... Just wanted to see if anyone knew what in the world I was talking about. Ha ha! It's a rarity to come across anyone who knows about the games. They might be over a decade old, but I still highly recommend checking them out for anyone who enjoys life simulation games, like The Sims.

Re: Creatures Games?


Had to ask my hubby on this one, since he is slightly older than me and has been a computer geek since the 70's... emoticon
He remembers the game, but didn't play it for long, since it doesn't have enough action!

I LOVE the sims, and am currently playing Sims3 with almost all expansion packs, except Showtime. Before that, it was Sims and Sims2, Zoo tycoon etc.

If I ever find a copy of the game, I will be sure to check it out, though. It looks awesome!

Re: Creatures Games?


I figured as much: It wasn't widely advertised at the time, though the Creatures games are still attracting new players even today. Versions are available at GOG.com for a reasonable price:

Creatures: The Albian Years - Includes Creatures 1 and 2

Creatures Exodus - Includes Creatures 3 and Docking Station

They're normally about $5 or $6 each, but the current sale puts them down at around $3 each. They're not games for everyone, though I figured I might mention them since they might possibly appeal to Sylvanian collectors! Violence is virtually nonexistent, and although deaths through old age and disease are possible, it's a very loveable sort of game!

My blog is titled Discover Albia... I over-dramatize everything, but writing stories about the games really appeals to me! If I ever have the time, I might start up a Calico Critters/Sylvanian Families blog. We'll see!

Re: Creatures Games?


Haha, sounds like more my type of game than hubby's! Will go take a look and see if I can get a copy for myself. I like raising things and from time to time I even pop out my old Furbie to get some laughs out of my 3yr old...
