I am absolutely pleased to be able to report that I am now the owner of a new computer, and the process of moving all of my Creatures things in has been relatively painless. I was a bit apprehensive about moving to digital copies of the Creatures games, as I have been playing directly from my CDs all these years; but alas, my new laptop has no CD drive, so it had to be done.
Thankfully, there were almost no growing pains, and everything's gone smooth as butter. Aside from a few minor bumps in the road I was expecting to encounter, I have successfully been able to relocate my worlds to a brand-new digital copy of Creatures Exodus, and both Applewood Fields and the Waterworks are functioning properly with every Creature intact. (I've included a picture of Ember taken after the move for good measure!)However, I have even more exciting news to report! Because I have brand-new digital copies of everything, I now have working copies of Creatures 1, Creatures 2, and Creatures Village!
I am absolutely thrilled that Creatures 2 in particular is working, as C2's atmosphere has always been a favorite of mine, but I'm incredibly eager to explore all three games. It has been years since I've had any of them working (I'm especially impressed C2 worked immediately upon install) and I've never extensively played outside of C3/DS, so this is an exciting new frontier for me!
I'm looking forward to documenting my experiences in really exploring these games for the first time, and I hope everyone will be happy to go on the journey with me!
To Infinity!

It definitely is impressive that you got C2 working without any trouble whatsoever! Even with every tip that exists, it still doesn't run particularly well for me. I look forward to seeing you be active again!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm really excited! Whether or not it has any performance issues is yet to be seen, but the fact that I was able to open it and get an actual game window is pretty great by itself! LOL
