I still have a few of these games! It doesn't capture me quite like it did back then but the art style is still beautiful, and I remember it kicking off my understanding of "AI" as in game AI, not LLMs.
Understanding how wants and needs drove actions, and marvelling at the language learning game mechanic. The genetics gameplay as well. It was well ahead of its time. I was early teens when I first played it, the same year I started learning to make games in Dark Basic.
