Norns are real artificial life creatures with their own Creatures Digital DNA, brains, and biochemistry. They learn and think for themselves, but they need you to love them, care for them, and play with them. So What Can You Do with Your Norns? We provide you with a nest of Norn eggs and a rich, diverse environment where they can live and breed. You cannot force your baby Norns to do anything in particular, but you can nurture them and nudge them along the right way by rewarding or punishing them for their actions. Baby Norns inherit the Digital DNA (our artificial version of real DNA) from their parents, along with the chance of some random genetic mutations. When your Norns reach adolescence and become more interested in Norns of the opposite sex a whole new realm of experiences begin. Eventually, Norns will die but hopefully after living a long, fruitful life under your care! Creatures are endearing and loveable because they're so believable. And they're believable because they're unpredictable. Just like a mischievous child, Creatures' Norns don't always do what they're told and sometimes do the most unexpected things -- providing a play experience that is never, ever the same twice! The Story Behind Creatures Creatures Adventures is one of a whole new breed of Creatures products, all using the remarkable CyberLife artificial life technology Creature Labs, the entertainment division of CyberLife Technology Ltd, quite possibly the world's leading developer of artificial life software, has already released the original Creatures November in 1996, followed by Creatures 2 in September 1998. Creatures came about as a result of research into modeling biological systems during the early '90s. CyberLife was born from the belief that if you want to get the properties of real living systems inside computers, you should copy Mother Nature as she's spent a whacking 3.7 billion years ironing out the bugs. We constructed a set of "biological building blocks," such as chemical reactions, brain components and physical appearance genes. These building blocks are a little like "nature's Lego" and we can use them to build complete artificial organisms inside a computer. Our biological blocks can be genetically specified, in a sort of DNA-style structure that we called Creatures Digital DNA. As research continued, it became clear that computers were rapidly becoming powerful enough to create animals that behaved as though they really were alive, and perhaps eventually yield human level intelligence. We expected the animal to behave like a cross between a toddler, a cat, and a dog -- a sort of virtual pet. It was this that led to the design of Creatures as we know it. Why is Creatures so appealing? For the same reason people enjoying having pets to nurture, people enjoy taking care of and raising their virtual pets. However, with Creatures, these pets can be interesting on another level - for their technological and scientific interest. Creatures' creatures can be taken apart, examined and altered to create a whole new pet. Creatures Adventures is a huge living playground where you and your Norn can experience all that virtual life has to offer.
