Hooboy. Memories. I remember wanting this game so badly that I convinced my father to get us a new 500 MEGABYTE harddrive so I'd have the space to install it. I was totally taken in by the game, but to be honest, I never got that far. A lot of the logic behind creature development is obscured so that there's no way to tell if what you're doing is really doing any good. Add in enemy mobs that seem to routinely wipe my settlements and, well. Frustrating! Of course, I haven't played creatures in a good 12-15 years, so it may be better than I remember. But just prepare for some hair pulling :)
