Creatures Trilogy contains full versions of all three Creatures games. The core game is nothing short of a life simulator. You manipulate the environment around and interact with a virtual organism. This creature is born, grows, and dies just like a real being. Sophisticated artificial intelligence allows the creature to learn, taking cues from the environment as well as your careful instruction. It even has virtual emotions. Creatures is fascinating as a simple "goldfish bowl", watching the creature move about, forage for food, and play with objects in the game world. But each game also contains an interesting world with glimpses of a larger storyline.
Creatures 1
The original Creatures was a gaming and scientific phenomenon of which the author Douglas Adams famously said, "I first saw this program in the same week that evidence was discovered of life on Mars. This is more exciting."
Creatures 2
They're back and they've brought some friends!
Creatures 2 is the sequel to the innovative best-seller from Creature Labs. This amazing Artificial Life product lets you create real life on your own PC.

Creatures 3
Over a thousand years ago, the ancient civilization of Shee left the world of Albia in a giant spaceship to find a new home. When the Grendels attacked them during the flight, they escaped to their new planet's surface, abandoning the Norns and their spaceship in orbit. But the Norns are not alone, and with your help they can thrive. You'll find a host of advanced machines to help you - all of which can be plugged together to make huge automated devices.
