Creatures: The Albian Years

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, but it isn't included with the game and needs to be downloaded seperately from AmberCreatures.

You may also need the Creatures Remastered Patch to make this game work with addon packs designed for previous games. Using the Hatchery may make the game lag.

The box set includes Creatures 1, Creatures 2, all the Object Packs (except the C2 Christmas Pack), the Life Kits and the following breeds:

Creatures 1 and 2:

Creatures 2:

System Requirements

  • Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 (32 & 64 bit)
  • 1 GHz Processor (1.4 GHz recommended)
  • 256MB RAM (512 recommended)
  • 3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended)

NOTE: It is highly recommended that you install Creatures - The Albian Years to your My Documents folder in the directory of (User Name)\Documents\Creatures, otherwise you may encounter issues where COBs don't inject properly, or you are unable to use the C1 Emergency Kit, due to the default installation method creating a split installation. If the games have already been installed elsewhere it is possible to remedy this issue by copying the entire contents of your My Documents folder to the games' directory, but keep in mind you will need to do this whenever you inject an agent into the world for the first time. The same also applies for Creatures Exodus.
