My brother and I got this game for our birthday when we were kids. We had tons of fun creating creating our own custom creatures and watching the ecosystem play out, plus we learned a lot about how health ecosystems work. I was never very good at it, so I couldn't get the city to grow much, and I'd love to take another crack at it now. There aren't many games like this, and it would be great for it to reach a wider audience.
I played this game so much as a kid. The endless hours carefully picking the right combination of plants, herbivores and carnivores to bring into balance the perfect ecosystem. The constant chasing of 'bubble spore' to capture and release further upwind - why didn't the darn wind ever change direction? The carnage of dropping just a few too many Rancor into an overcrowded area. Terraforming swamp into rock or vice versa to create ecological partitions. Setting the harvest limit to maintain a population of 17 Green Glie just because I knew the high reproduction rate could handle it. Randomly causing earthquakes because I was amused by Jar Jar's freakout. The simple joy of this ecosystem builder was never replaced for me in any other game I've perused, and there could be so much potential if this one got a little love with updated graphics and creature catalogue.
My brother in law used to have a HUGE collection of games burned in CDs, complete with their cover art and everything. This was one of the games he had and I remember playing it even before i watched the movie. I spent so many hours playing around with this game, getting lost in (what I remember) the very complex interactions different life forms have with one another.
I tried playing it again recently, but it's very annoying to set up on modern computers, and even after a lot of fiddling it still has tons of bugs that make it unplayable for me. I'd love to see such an unique game being brought back to life.
This is a game very close to my heart. I was very young when playing it, and I only have fond memories of being glued to the screen figuring out how on earth to balance an alien ecosystem with very little instruction.
I loved playing this game, it had unique charm to it... still remembering balencing out the eco system between carnivours, herbavours, and plants... never ever in my life thought I would enjoy doing that :D
Kept playing this game till it sadly stopped runing on modern PCs, looked everywhere on gaming platforms but sadly couldn't find it.

Nigel Mansell's Grand PrixNigel Mansell's first licensed computer game recreates all 16 Formula 1 circuits of the time, viewed from behind the car but with a full cockpit-type view below. This is important because the game is very much a simulation rather than an action game.
Before each race you have to do three qualifying laps, and only make the grid if you are fast enough to meet the pre-defined qualifying limit. The races can be between 5 and 20 laps, or at full length if you prefer - fortunately a half-finished season can be saved to cassette or disk.
F1 cars of this era have turbo boosts, and this is available in the game to provide a quick blast of extra speed, which is useful for overtaking but can cause the turbo or the engine itself to be overstressed, as well as using fuel more quickly (pitstops are for tires but not fuel, again in keeping with the era's real Formula 1 rules).
Ferrari Grand Prix ChallengeThe Nintendo Entertainment System version of the game is a simplified version that allows players to practice up to six laps or qualify for every Formula One race of the season using metric units (kilometres per hour instead of miles per hour). It was one of the few 8-bit Formula One video games to adequately represent the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve as having an urban background along with several other urban race tracks represented in the 1992 Formula One season. Tire wear is possible resulting in trips to the pit crew for maintenance and repairs. A radio allows communication with the crew chief; he will advise whether repairs are necessary. The top speed of the vehicle is 325 kilometres per hour and turbo is not used in the game.
Before the first qualifying session can take place, the player must insert his name and his nationality. The name can be up to 10 characters long and the country has to fit into a three-character field. Since the game doesn't verify if the three-letter code matches up to a real nationality, it doesn't matter if the player makes up a nationality for a fictional country.

Grand Prix 4Grand Prix 4 also known as GP4 is the fourth game in the "Geoff Crammond Grand Prix" series based on the 2001 F1 Grand Prix series and was the last version of the game released by Geoff Crammond and MicroProse.
Grand Prix 3Grand Prix 3 (GP3) is a computer racing simulator by MicroProse. Released in 2000 by Hasbro Interactive featuring the 1998 Formula One season (with all drivers except Jacques Villeneuve, who is instead replaced by a fictional character, John Newhouse). The game wasn't quite as well received as its predecessors, but at the time was widely considered to be the best racing simulation available.
An add-on to the game, called GP3-2000 or GP32k, was released by Hasbro which updated the game to the 2000 Formula One season. A few other changes were made as well including: updated damage physics including damage from on-circuit debris, improved AI, a new replay system, and EAX 3D-sound.
Since the release of Grand Prix 4, the GP3 modding scene has slowly declined, and with the cracking of track editing for GP4 many track modders left GP3 for the newer title.Non-fiction Science fiction
Grand Prix 2All the circuits and drivers of the 1994 Formula 1 World Championship is recreated in Geoff Crammond's second racing simulation. The game is viewed from within the cockpit - external views are provided primarily for use in replays or demonstrations. Texture mapping and full detail in the rear view mirrors are available for almost every visible feature.
The game has 5 skill levels, 7 driving aids such as automatic brakes and a dotted 'ideal racing line' to follow available on lower skill levels, and variable race and practice session lengths. You will have to alter the car's setup to get the best possible car performance - this ranges from standard features such as brake balance and gear ratios onto more technical ones such as spring settings and the ride height. Multiplayer games involve either taking it in turns on a single computer, or on a linkup.Non-fiction
