Galapagos (video game)

Galapagos: Mendel's Escape is a computer action game developed by Anark Game Studios and published by Electronic Arts in 1997. It is perhaps best known for its use of "artificial life technology" to control the main character, only giving the player indirect control of the creature by manipulating the environment.

Gameplay

Unlike with most games, the main character of Galapagos is in control of itself and only indirectly responds to changes you make to its environment. This is possible through the use of a proprietary Artificial Intelligence system known as Non-stationary Entropic Reduction Mapping, or NERM. This character is thus fully capable of maneuvering through the environment while avoiding surfaces and obstacles it has previously learned is harmful, entirely on its own.

However, the creature does not know how to manipulate the levers and switches found throughout the various areas in the game, so it is up to you to help. As it moves around, the camera angle changes to reveal the new obstacles. Correct manipulation of the devices, through puzzle solving and careful timing, is needed to succeed.
