This game has won the "Labour of Love" award many years in a row for a reason ... <3
I played this game almost obsessively in my early teens and searched far and wide for the updated version so I could install/play on my win7 laptop (and incidentally found GOG-heaven at the same time!). However, once I had installed the first Creatures, which was my favourite in the series, I quickly got fed up with how high-maintenance the Norns - it takes hours of coaxing and endless "push" repetitions to make them do anything at all! I must say, I do not remember them being so stupid. Maybe when I was younger, I didn't have such a low patience threshold and didn't get aggravated at the impossible feedback loops (Norn is exhausted therefore will not eat, Norn is hungry therefore will not sleep). What a shame... the dream is dead :(
