EVOLUTION 10

EVOLUTION 10 is an evolution based game for COMMODORE 64 home computer. In this game the player assumes the role of “selective pressure” in the evolution of a species. Given a target objective, he/she will have to choose two specimens from those proposed so that they can reproduce themselves and so he/she approaches to the expected result. This game is designed for a single player and it is text-based.
