I can't believe it. I finally found a copy that works on Vista and 7. I'm dropping out of S4D to play this again.

I grew up on these games, and they'll always have a special place in my heart. Creatures was and still is an innovative game about artificial life focused around complex creatures. It's also where the roots of Lixim are placed. It's a real shame that the company went under ten years ago. These were some amazing games that didn't have the chance to reach out as far as they deserved.

Not only can you simulate intelligent, evolving life…. These games were designed around third-party development. There are thousands of breeds, add-ons, and objects to download, so you can fully customize your experience in the world.

Finally, the world art here is what I wanted to shoot for in Lixim. But it's 100% modeled and pre-rendered, and I simply don't have the skill to make beautiful environments like this.

This should keep me thoroughly entertained until Creatures 4 (and Rune Factory 4!) are finally released.
