Title: Long Shot- Old Gateway/Windows 98 Games?
Post by: TyjiFeku on August 09, 2007, 09:53:39 PM
When I was a kid of about eleven or so, my parents bought a brand-new Gateway PC that was about a kajillion pounds, ran Windows 98, and had this games package that came with it.

The specific names of these games escape me in my age (lol.), but I remember one of them was called something like 'Muddled Poker', and featured royalty on the cards. Another was a snake game where you had to keep pottery lids from crashing to the ground, and another was some kind of game where you had to play with genetics and create hybrid species. There were others, but those are the ones I remember most.

I know this is an absolute long shot, but does anyone remember the names of these games, or better yet, where I might find them? I've done Google searches and come up empty handed everytime.

I really hope you guys can help me, those games were an enjoyable part of my pre-pubescent years!


Thanks for any and all help/tips/suggestions.

It could be Creatures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatures_%28artificial_life_program%29#Creatures).
