There was this game called Evo, or Eve or something like it, by Squaresoft, I think. It was an old Snes game and also had the option to customise creatures, making them more intelligent etc. by fighting and surviving you'd gain points wich would allow you to evolve further. The 1st phase of Spore is kind of like this; I liked evo a lot so I'd deffo play it.
WTB Spore plx :roll:
