Does anyone Remember the Creature Games?

When I was younger, I would play this game called Creatures 3.

Besides the Norns, there were other creatures; the Ettins and the Grendels. It was part of the Creatures series that involved taking care of an artifical intelligent critters known as Norns.  It was pretty sophisticated for its time and sure the AI for the creatures wasn’t the best but it was still good.

I loved this game as a kid. I would spend hours playing it and I really enjoyed experimenting with the norn breeds, teaching them how to speak and trying to help them survive and be entertained. I managed to play the older versions (Creatures 1 and 2) as well as the spinoff (Creatures Village). But as computers began changing, I eventually wasn’t able to play Creatures anymore. Not many games these days I would play on hours for and I still wish there was more games like Creatures.

When I visted GOG.com though, guess what I found?

That’s right, I found a version of Creatures I could play again! My brother payed for the game and now I have it on my laptop. After so many years, I still enjoy the game and it doesn’t feel much different to what I had originally. I admit that I didn’t expect the new norn breeds but I’m not complaining.

I even made a family tree that I am working on.

As you can see, there’s quite a lot of creatures. >3>

Anyway, I might capture some screenshots if I can of the game and post them on tumblr if I have something good.
