This special edition twin pack contains two innovative classic best-sellers from Creature Labs namely Creatures 1 and Creatures 2. These amazing Artificial Life products let you create real life on your own PC. Creatures 1: In the game the user is presented with a large living landscape - the surface of another world (called Albia). He exists in this world only as a virtual presence a sort of remote-control existence which the computer portrays as a hand-shaped mouse cursor. In this world are a range of locations and strange creatures related loosely (and with considerable poetic licence) to Northern myth. The user begins near to the long-abandoned home of a family of Norns (Small Furry Creatures) where a few eggs languishing in a broken-down incubator are almost all that remains of the Nornir race. Creatures 2: Explore the Shee Laboratories and discover the all-new Norns inhabiting a vibrant living eco-system - find the Genetic Splicer and defend your Norns against the vicious and disease-ridden Grendels. Play in a new world that's doubled in size. Volcanoes seasons and weather systems are in vibrant 16 bit colour. Teach your creatures - their improved brain function allows them to learn faster and interact with you in more interesting ways. Breed your favourites and pass on their genes and dominant characteristics to the next generation. You can even cross-breed between species!
