Commodore 64 · 1983 · WOR

Also known as: Evolution (Pan Books)

Publisher: Pan Books · Developer: Geoff Amabilino

Evolution takes you through a surreal journey of six completely different survival scenarios – each self-contained yet bound by the same instinct. You begin as a tiny amoeba, eating spores while avoiding hostile single-cell creatures, then become a frog dodging hungry birds while snapping up flies. After that you dive into the water as a beaver, gathering fish and staying clear of an angry crab. Next you lumber through the forest as a gorilla, racing a swift monkey for falling bananas. From there you shift into a caveman defending your territory with arrows against raiders from nearby caves, before the final stage turns you into the leader of a global superpower, programming missile paths under brutal time pressure in a duel of capitals and warheads – a finale that shows just how thin the thread of survival can be.
