Description	This game is a take on Conway's famous Game of Life, but with a crucial difference - you the player influence how successive generations develop by controlling the elemental forces of the game universe. Although I've added this one to the online arcade as a snapshot, I strongly recommend that you download the original tapefile version from this page. You'll then see the loading screen and wonder at the marvellous speccy rendering of the Clifton Suspension Bridge - very nice! Be sure to absorb the instructions as much as practically possible before playing. Ultimately you'll be able to develop a taste for some real power.
Comments	A colourful visual treat awaits the player, as you play a God controlling the elemental forces of the game world. Watch the green beings suffer or thrive according to your choices. The game ticks many of the boxes expected of a crap game entry, including outrageously poor spelling and grammar and also a nice if wholly irrelevant captured intro screenshot, so overall a very respectable score. You've also just got to love the Press Some Key method of proceeding through the instructions. Yes, which key this time?
