Creatures, or rather C.R.E.A.T.U.R.E.S. (its full name being: Clyde Radcliffe Exterminates All The Unfriendly Repulsive Earth-ridden Slime), is a platform game originating on the Commodore 64/128 (1990), endearing, colourful and notable for its cartoon-like boss battles.
The Amiga version loses some of its predecessor’s charm due to overly childish design and poorly chosen sound effects.
I’d add some personal grievances: one-way screen scrolling, pixel-perfect jumps, invulnerable monsters, and sluggish movement.
Think I’ve roughed up that game enough? Next!
