Docking Station is a freeware Internet-enabled version of the popular game Creatures. You play god in a small ecosystem where you watch funny creatures, Norns, grow and die. They explore their tiny world, mutating and learning as they grow. You can punish, reward, and teach them. What's more, you can have them travel from one world to another if you play online. However, many features of Creatures are not available. For instance, you can't edit genomes. On the plus side, you can load new rooms and creature breeds. We were impressed with the graphics and audio and found the game an enjoyable way to indulge our inner mad scientist.

Pros
this is a die hard community of loyal fans who have built up a impressive array of cheats, agents, breeds, blueprints and much more for this game. You can play Frankenstein or be a mechanical engineer with this game.
Cons
The company which bought out this game is neglecting it and not keeping up the website.
Summary
if you are a nerd, hacker or mad scientist this is definitely the game for you. It is still just a fun game for the rest of us.
too heavy for play

Pros
no pros as there is no game
Cons
I have tried to set up an account several time at different hours but only get a 404 page. I have also chopped the address down to the dot net and the page that comes up only has two words on it; "Its Alive". Thats it. nothing else.
Summary
This game should be removed from the listings as it is no longer available.
Good program.

Pros
I would probably only give this game 4 stars but there is coultless addons on the internet, like free addon rooms that are bigger and better then the origanal rooms. There is even a free addon "room" where you can get the Creatures 1 game world.
Cons
The game only runs in 16 bit color, it won't work in 32. Also, there is a small ad that comes up for about 10 seconds every hour telling you to buy Creatures 3.
Summary
Can't play offline.

Pros
Cons
This game can't be run without both an active internet connection and a registered username and password from the developer's website. It's important to note that if you don't have IE set as your default browser, the automatic internet connection won't run with this program and you won't be able to use the software at all. Ugh.
