Description of Evolution: The Game of Intelligent Life
Read Full DescriptionIn my opinion the most 'realistic' and fun strategy game ever made about scientific evolution, Evolution from Greg Costikyan is a unique, well-designed, and very well-balanced real-time strategy game that brings the concepts of evolution to gaming in such a way that makes the game both engaging and educational.
The premise: 'More than 360 million years ago, life crawled out of the ocean. Yesterday, a hairless plains ape learned to talk and to make fire. In between, amphibians, dinosaurs, pterodactyls, mastodons and saber-tooth tigers came and went. Welcome to Evolution, where life evolves at breakneck speeds 30,000 years per second!
You are thrown into this evolutionary maelstrom. To survive, your creatures must fight ferociously and strategically to evolve into intelligent life. You battle up to five other players, attacking them, crowding them out of prime feeding ground and striving to grab key positions on the Tree of Life. As if your opponents aren't challenge enough, the Earth itself is in constant flux. Continents drift and collide, sea levels rise and fall, glaciers advance and retreat, comets and asteroids strike the earth, enormous volcanic eruptions spew lava in all directions, supernovae irradiate the world.
Can creatures thrive or will competitors and the elements wipe you out?'
Although it is similar to SimEarth and SimLife in many aspects, Evolution is fundamentally a different game because of its emphasis on strategy - and therefore probably the world's first program based on evolution to be qualified as a 'game' (as opposed to Maxis' 'software toys').
There is a pre-defined goal: be the 'best' survivor in this historic world. You do this by accumulating score: similar to Civilization, the game ranks you using several criteria. These include size of population of your 'clade' (i.e. your original species and all the species that descend from it), number of times your clade evolves a new species, and evolving the first intelligent species. Although you do not have to be the first to evolve the first intelligent species to win, it is much easier to win if you do because doing this gives you 50% point increase. This goal is easier said than done, since you have to deal with a myriad of natural disasters (including dramatic meteor showers and volcanic activities, to name but a few) in addition to opponents (which can be either computer- or human-controlled).
Crucial to your success is the decision on what species to evolve next. While there are more than 170 unique species available, only one player in the game can evolve into a specific species at a time, making it a real challenge to evolve those critical species before other players in the game beat you to it. Many in-game charts and graphs are indispensable to your strategy, as well as the complex and awe-inspiring 'Tree of Life' that gives you exact breakdown of requirements for evolving species. The Tree of Life is a bit hard to read because the text and the lines are so small, but that is a minor gripe compared to the overall excellence of the game.
Similar to most real-time strategy games such, you control and manage all 'units' of your species directly. Battles are unavoidable, especially when someone beats you to a species that is critical for evolving into that intelligent race you are researching. True to history, while you are busy trying to survive, the environment constantly changes - tectonic plates and whole continents shift, resulting in dramatic changes in the survivability of your species. This requires you to constantly monitor the environment and adjust your strategy accordingly, making for an exciting and rewarding experience. I learned a lot more about evolution while playing this game than I ever did in school :)
The 'bells and whistles' components are all up to par, and add to the experience. Graphics is very good - you can tell which species it is by its icon and animation. Discovering your species' characteristics and preferences is half the fun, and evolving them into new species is the other half. To round things off, up to six players can compete via serial modem, LAN, or the Internet.
Despite a major omission in the first release that saw the curious absence of 'historical Earth' scenario, you can still download that from the game's official website at Discovery Channel among other places. When all is said and done, this is one of the few RTS games I played into 3-4 a.m. - and I never learned this much while playing Starcraft ;)
Highly recommended to RTS fans and anyone who is interested in evolution of life on Earth.

'Free mind' get out of here creationist.

Darwin is Fake. We know how incredibly complicated our body is, and that DNA must come from intelligence using a super computer. The chance of life forming by itself is 0.

Any info on how to handle the MEM BAD HANDLE issue would be much appreciated
RANDOMGUY2019-10-091 point
So I installed it but I have the next issue, every time the game loads it will show a mem bad handle error. Any way to fix this?
RandomGuy2019-10-060 point
Is there any simple way to play this? I used to love this game but I have tried stuff such as DosBox and still no luck.
Druss2019-01-220 point
Yep - the Iso is corrupted :(

@Tom Brady: should be incorporated in the 1.2 patch
Tom Brady2018-09-261 point
So does anyone know where to get the file to play the historical earth setup?
I can’t find the discovery website the reviewer talks about to download it. If anyone has a copy I’d love to get it.
Thanks for any info

ok so before you even start to download a pre-2001 windows game grab VMware for free learn how it works, search for windows ME VMware image get it working to your liking (install guest additions etc) this set up should be able to play dos games etc, but dos box is still better than running dos games on windows, that is a whole other monster you should google, but most of the games I've found on here post dos pre XP run great on ME (its ME so its not as stable as NT but i chose it because its running on a DOS compatibility layer like Windows9x)

To all those who have issues running this game, Windows 95 games can be run but you probably need a virtual machin for it.
RandomGuy2018-05-031 point

I downloaded and unzipped the files, but when I try to run the game it says I need the Evolution disc in my disc drive. Windows 10. What should I do?
Giant2017-10-182 points
I'm pretty sure I got it to work not much more than a year ago, but now I can't get it to work. Windows 10. Tried all kinds of compatibility settings. Someone got it to work and want's to share?
WowGuy2017-05-022 points
After some fiddling and optimizing I was able to get this to work on windows 8, however the game itself is very challenging and not very easy to understand without some sort of digital manual

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade: The Action GameThrive is a free, open-source game about the evolution of life.
From the lowly tidepools of your home planet, you will rise to cosmic dominance. At every step, powerful creation tools and deep simulation mechanics will aid your species’ development. Revolutionary Games is the open-source team of dedicated volunteers aiming to make Thrive a reality.
Our team seeks to accomplish two major goals: create engaging, compelling gameplay that respects our players’ intelligence, and remain as accurate as possible in our depiction of known scientific theory without compromising the former.
Thrive will encapsulate the player in the wonders of science and the universe, allowing them to manipulate the virtual world around them with editors to modify technology, culture, organisms, and entire solar systems. Seven stages are planned – Microbe, Multicellular, Aware, Awakening, Society, Industrial and Space – though for the moment we’re only focusing on the first of these, as the whole project is a massive undertaking.
Thrive takes many games as inspiration, from roguelikes to grand strategy games, but we plan on walking our own path with many game mechanics. Don’t expect a clone.
We aim to explore the possibilities of simulation within a game context, pitting the player against the game environment as they wield the forces of evolution. Players will create and edit an organism on its journey from insignificance to the stars, using multiple creation tools to rise above their adversaries, themselves products of evolution by natural selection in the wider game ecosystem.
By collecting substances from the environment and processing them with a simulated metabolism, you can increase your species’ fitness rating, building resistance against extinction. Less successful evolutionary paths will vanish, and only one may progress through every crucial transformative step towards cell cohesion, terrestrial conquest, sentience, settlements, and space travel. Will you thrive?
For more information on Thrive gameplay, see our FAQ page and gameplay overview.
Thrive is an ongoing development project, and has already seen several releases of the first microbial game stage. You can download these early versions from our Releases page.
The game is and always will be free and open-source. Anyone can contribute as much as they wish provided they have the necessary skills. Visit our Get Involved page to see how you could help. Talented artists, musicians, programmers and experts in any of the scientific fields we aim to simulate are welcome. If you don’t have the skills, and don’t want to learn, you can now also support us on Patreon.
