E.V.O. : Search for Eden (1992)
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Platform, Hack and slash/Beat 'em up
Themes:Action, Fantasy, Historical, Science fiction, Survival
Game modes:Single player
Story:The storyline of E.V.O.: Search for Eden follows the same patterns as modern Evolution theories. The players first controls a prehistoric sea organism, and fights to gain evolution points with which he can improve his fish's body parts and upgrade his attack/defense abilities. The gameplay is not completely linear, which means that certain choices of paths and stages will affect the player's success. The game is composed of a series of stages, in which the sea organism slowly evolves into an amphibian, and later a land-only creature. The physical changes are fairly scientifically accurate which gives the game a semi-educational purpose as well.Show more

This is a really cool idea for a game where you go through stages of evolution and try to fix evolution gone wrong. Wanna be the ultimate amphibian? You can! Wanna be the last dinosaur in the mammal age? Reign supreme over the new mammals! It really should be brought back so more people can play this game.
I like to describe it as Darwinist propaganda because its a funny thing to say and honestly its an awesome premise. It is your job to evolve through the various ages of life on earth. Become the strongest fish! Then, walk onto land and become the strongest Amphibian! Then become a Dinosaur and be forced to survive as a mammal during the ice age. Can you discover the key to evolve into a primate and use tools? Such an excellent game!
I discovered this game entirely by chance as a rental in Blockbuster video when I was around 13. It transformed the SNES into a fantasy evolution simulator with hints at a deeper, darker story despite lighter humor in the game as well. There are a surprising number of secrets to uncover - how to become a bird, how to evolve into a human, etc. There's even a level where it's possible to become a mermaid if you find the correct path. This game has more depth than an early 90s sidescroller has a right to. There's nothing else like it as far as I know. A great relic of wild 16 bit era creativity.

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions.
