When I haven’t played a Creatures game in a while, I like to pop in the first in the series. I don’t know why. Creatures 1 isn’t the game I started with, and it’s the one I’m the least familiar with, but I do enjoy it quite a bit.
It could be that the warm, colors and 90s atmosphere feels more familiar than it actually is. Whatever the case, this is a great game to come back to.
Cassy’s pregnancy was still underway when I opened the game but otherwise, there were no real pressing matters.
Aidan and Cassy were the only ones with their health below 70 and I think poor Aidan was just too tired to eat. It didn’t help things when David and Cassy went to investigate the old man.
With Lydia gone, Aidan was now the oldest Norn in the world and it looked like his time was coming soon. At an impressive 11 hours, 50 minutes, he certainly seemed like he would be old enough for Silicon Heaven. The second oldest, Bobby, seemed much further away at only 8 hours, 50 minutes old. The age groups were pretty spread apart, with a 12 hour old norn, a 9 hour old norn, two 3 hour old norns, one 1 hour old norn and a baby!
This spelled good news for Cassy, though. Being the only female and one of the 3 hour old norns meant she had the potential to have eggs with every one of the males. Good for her, but I will be introducing another female once Aidan passes away.
Considering this, I remembered that I had some previously hatched eggs that I would have to deal with. I’d also stopped checking creatures’ genetics because I found it was starting to get tedious and was robbing me a little of my enjoyment of the game.
So, what to do? I could release spare creatures as downloads or I could try to hatch and raise every single one. Until I decide, though, I’m also saving the genetics files for all these creatures just in case I need them for anything. Who knows, I might come up with something interesting.
