 
When will Creatures 2 be available?
Creatures 2 is available now in the UK, Ireland, The United States,
Canada, France and Germany. Additional European territories (including
Spain and Italy) will be also available at some point during September
and October.
Where can I buy Creatures 2 in my country?
Your local computer software retail outlet will be able to get
the software for you if they do not already stock it or you can
purchase it from Mindscape Entertainment.
Can I still use my old Norns from the original Creatures?
Yes. There is a converter that will do its best to convert Creatures
1 Norns to a Creatures 2 genetic format.
Will Creatures 2 be available for the Macintosh?
Yes, but not until first quarter, 1999. It is currently in development.
More details will be announced as they become available.
For what age range is Creatures 2 suitable?
Aged 10 and upwards. The nature of the product means that different
people find different ways of enjoying it.
What do I get when I buy Creatures 2?
You get a CD-ROM for Creatures 2 and a manual. As a Creatures
owner, you have access to vast wealth of information on the Internet
including over 400 independent web sites, two newsgroups and hundreds
of free downloads.
Are the creatures actually alive?
This is a matter of great debate! Their behaviour is not programmed,
and they are based on real life. They have their own Digital DNA,
biochemistry and complex biologically-inspired brains. As to whether
they are alive, it is something for you to decide yourself once
you've interacted with them!
Do they really think and communicate?
Yes. They can talk to you, and each other, and you can talk to
them too - so long as you have taught them the words.
What happens when Norns die?
When Norns experience brain death, they die and cannot be recovered.
It is possible to store some words and a picture to go with them
so that you can remember the ones that have passed away.
Are you planning any other products?
Yes. Details are not available at this time, however. Keep watching
the Creatures Lab website for details of new products.
Will there be add-ons available for Creatures 2?
There will be many add-ons, ranging from development utilities
to new objects and creatures available from our web site.
I'd like to develop Creatures Objects for Creatures 2. What do
I do?
Information on our Creatures Developer Network is available on the web site.
