I am just trying to get the demo, lets see what this game can

[L o k i]

Geezuz! Does Sid know about this?

I'm downloading it now, and the movie cutscenes, to see how good they are.

[Karhgath]

Stop d/ling right now... I just played it and, while it's a good idea, it plain sucks. The only thing you can do is moving the animals around for better hunting/feeding ground and looking at them evolving. Kinda pointless.

ARGGGHHH I downloaded that crappy game for about 1 hour just to find out I cant install it, due to some error, although I meet the requirements!!!

you can also attack other animals, and evolve a species to have a better attack towards another(of the enemy)

[Karhgath]

yeah, but that's about it. Absolutely no depth in this game, althought the full game might be cool in some way(I can't say I didn't appreciated turning my little lepidicus in monkeys), but it's not worth the title of a good game. Sid must look at this game... and not do his dino game like that, hehe. Anyway, I don't have worry, Sid's games always have lots of depth compared to this thing. Evolution looks more like an encyclopedia/educational program, and I can appreciate it for that, just not as a game.

Neat. Sorta a rip off of SimEarth, though. A bit....That was a cool game.

True. I was only able to play in B&W on an old Mac (wow... B&W... yikes) and it was pretty rockin'. I liked the spinning-globe view - Civ needs one of those.

Want an abandonware download link?:-)

P.S. Did you find the Evolution site on your own or did you just copy it from one of my posts on other forums? ;-)

I dug out my old copy of SimEarth this morning.. it was a lot more fun than I remembered

How'd you do the Santa smiley?

Karhgath, just look at the publisher, Discovery multimedia. Its supposed to be encyclopedic and educationnal.

Good government never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery. The most important element of government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders.

Incidentally, all you Sim Earth players...
If you create a Nanotech age city and use the events panel to nuke it, robots excape from the nuclear blast.

Robots are a class of life that survive in all biomes, even ocean and arctic and if robots form a civilisation then their cities start at Industrial Age Level
