Wish I had known that back in 1998 when I bought it. perhaps I would have waited and saved my 20 quid.

Then again, if I hadn't bought it then I wouldn't have realized how boring it actually is to watch these strange and cute little creatures wandering about their incredibly limited world.

This game could have been really cool but I don't think it was ever really developed enough.

Numsgil:
"boring" is the word I would use to.  Interesting, for a time, but it's just too difficult to get any kind of ecosystem going.

Welwordion:
Just a thought, but let us make another alife game besides Darwinbots, I just need some new stuff with better possibilities.
Oh and I do  mean seomthing which uses more bottom to up principles instead of up to bottom ones like Darwinbots use.
This would also make it easier to programm such stuff as we do not need to implement certain effects but rather hope they will arise from simple interactions, its just needs some more know how and inpiration.

This would also enable us to programm something where genes or whatever mutations could be programmed more specifically

Numsgil:
A while ago a number of forum members went off to try and start their own programs, but most seem rather "abandoned" as of late.

It's alot of hard work.

Welwordion:
Yeah probably , thats why I think its worth to discuss such stuff and come up with soemthing thats simple enough ,yet worth to programm before going of to create a game thats just another simple bot variant clone.
I mean lets first think how such a game should be, after that we can still decide if we want to give it a try.
