Creatures: The Albian Years is a recompilation of the original Creatures and Creatures 2. Note that, unlike Creatures Village, the two included games are entirely separate in every way other than the CD name. It is however possible to import C1 creatures into C2 using the Nornverter.
You may also need the Creatures Remastered Patch to make this game work with addon packs designed for previous games. Using the Hatchery makes the game lag.
Another bug on the game concerns the Emergencey kit application for creatures 1. The options to "restore the world" and "create a new world" do not work. The old world remains and cannot be removed with the kit. As yet the best thing to do if you want to create a new world is to do the following:
1. Uninstall Albian years.
2. Now you should still have a Creatures 1 and 2 file left in your "my documents" under a general name "creatures".
3. Delete the creatures 1 folder (if you leave the C2 folder in here, despite uninstalling the game you will keep your old C2 worlds)
4. Now reinstall Albian Years.
5. Before you play anything go into the creatures 1 folder in the my documents part and copy the entire folder and name it something else, like C1-alternative)
6. Now when you load the game it will load which ever folder in the my documents section says "Creatures 1" on it. So to get a new world you just need to copy the blank C1-alternative and then rename this copy of the folder "Creatures 1" and change the name of the original Creatures 1 folder. Basically you keep a blank world to copy from. Then you name whichever copy you want to play "Creatures 1" and rename the world you were playing i.e. the one that used to be called "Creatures 1".
