Notes

[1] The CREATURES acronym stands for Clyde Radcliffe Exterminates All The Unfriendly Repulsive Earth-ridden Slime.

[2] Game contents contained a large A3 size CREATURES poster.

[3] The sequel CREATURES 2: TORTURE TROUBLE was released on the C64/128 in 1992, but didn't appear on the Amiga (or any other platform) despite a planned conversion by WJS Design [Source: Amiga Power preview (Oct 92, p46), courtesy of the Amiga Magazine Rack (AMR)].

[4] Distributed in Italy by Softel.

Conversion Notes

Based on 1990 Apex Computer Productions/Thalamus C64/128 release.

N.B. A Spectrum conversion was planned, but never released (see HERE).
