Title: Monster/animal breeding game - need help figuring out the title!
Post by: Ziley on March 09, 2014, 08:02:17 PM
Hey everyone! :)

I've run into a problem, I remember that I used to play a game about breeding monsters and keeping them alive, while training them to be able to battle each other. I think I played this game on the Playstation 1 and it was around 8 or so years ago. I've been looking for some time, but I haven't been able to find the game I'm looking for. I specifically remember that your could die from sources outside battle and that the game didn't have a "walk around" mechanic, it was mostly just menues and videos from this farm-like place.

I hope you can help me, since I remember the game being a lot of fun and I'd love to see if it's still available!

Cheers, Ziley! :)

P.S. Here are some quick info about games I'm pretty sure that it is NOT:

101 Shark Pets
Azure Dreams
Digimon World
Dog's Life
Dragon Quest V
Dragon Quest Monsters
EyePet
Eternal Eyes
Final Fantasy VII (chocobo-raising minigame)
Final Fantasy XIII-2

Nintendogs
Pikmin
Pokémon

Can't help you on this one as I never really got into anything on a console, but hopefully someone else will be along shortly with some ideas!

It's actually not similar to spore at all and also much older. I've probably not done a very good job of explaining it, but my memories of it are very vague. :)

It's more akin to pokemon in that you "control" the guy who owns the creature and then you choose how to feed it and how to deal with stuff like illness and injuries - all this while training it to become a better "fighting-animal".

One very important point I should probably make is that you never actually move around in the game, it's handled entirely by menues. Of course there's still a visual part to the game, but you don't control it.

Looks like an interesting game, but it looks like you're sort of controlling a civilization. In the game that I'm thinking about you're only trying to train this one monster.

Thanks for the help though :)

I suggest moving to Canvey Island and getting a real fighting dog for training up!
