CREATURES 1:
Q:
How do I play Creatures without the
cd?
A:
This is quite simple. Click on the Start button on your desktop
(the one that's down on the left) and find the shortcut to
Creatures in your Start menu. Add the word "-embedding" (without the quotes).
For instance, if the shortcut says "C:\Program\Creatures\Creatures.exe",
change it to "C:\Program\Creatures\Creatures.exe"
-embedding. The path could be different, don't change the
path, just add -embedding.
Q:
How do I play the Cheese/Doctor/Darwin
cheat?
A:
You have to alter your registry. This can be dangerous and
might screw up your computer badly if you don't know what
you're doing.
1.
First, find a file on your computer called Regedit.
2. Now, VERY IMPORTANT, make a copy of that file and rename
it to regedit_copy. This way, if you do something wrong you
can just replace the screwed up file with the backup. Don't
skip this step.
3. Open the Regedit file (a double-click should work).
4. Click yourself ahead to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Millenium
Interactive\Creatures\1.0\
5. Find the field "Privileges". Now change it from
"User" to "Darwin", "Cheese",
"Doctor" or "Skirty".
6. Run the game and see what happens. You'll see a selection
of new menus, and you can scroll freely. You can also hold
down your SHIFT key and left-click on any object or creature
to move it. Remember: When you're in cheat mode the game doesn't
save automatically, so you have to save the world before you
close it.

Q:
How do I play the Coconut Grove/Blueberry
cheat?
A:
Time to edit the registry again.
1.
First, find a file on your computer called Regedit.
2. Now, VERY IMPORTANT, make a copy of that file and rename
it to regedit_copy. This way, if you do something wrong you
can just replace the screwed up file with the backup. Don't
skip this step.

5. In
the Edit menu, select Modify.
8.
Replace "User" with "The Coconut Grove" or "Blueberry4$"
without the quotes ("..").
9. Start your game. The Coconut Grove cheat removes everything
in the world, so use this only when you want to make a new
world. The Blueberry cheat adds some new features like "Activate
Game States" which activates all the power-ups. You can also
move things like in the C1 cheat, by holding down the CTRL
and SHIFT keys on your keyboard and left-clicking on the
object you want to move.
Note:
When you have the cheats activated, the game doesn't save
automatically. So remember to save the world before you close
it.
To
get the world back to normal, just replace the value you just
entered with "User" again.
