A Guide to Navigating the Gameware Europe Sites

A Listing of the Correct Gameware LinksLast year, Gameware Europe was awesome enough to restore all of the old pages and downloads when the original domain went down. Now the Creature Labs and Creatures Development Network sites are just a click away! However, many will notice how the internal link structure was not updated, leading to a lot of broken links. This may make it seem like those pages and downloads are lost, but they’re still there! And this isn’t a criticism of anyone at Gameware Europe: It was kind enough of them to publish everything again, and it’s not too difficult to change the domain name in the links. But what if you want a quick reference guide?

Linking Up the Creatures Development NetworkThe CDN site may look unformatted and broken when it is opened, but it’s simply using the wrong URLs for the CSS and images. A little tinkering, and voila! The layout can be viewed in its original glory. It’s amazing to have these resources available even after all this time, and there is a lot of excellent information peppered throughout the pages. Some of the troubleshooting information might be a little outdated, yet there’s so much nostalgia involved in reading through the FAQs! The following is a complete listing of the correct URLs throughout the sites. Use this as a reference guide, particularly when looking for the free downloads! I’ve used the wrong links many times, and it’s often a pain to continuously change the links when viewing multiple pages. Perhaps Gameware Europe will update the pages in the future, but until then, I hope this link listing proves useful to those looking for official Creatures information and downloads!

Note that this is a very long list of links and text! The best way to use it is with your browser’s Find or Search feature to look for something in particular. Links may appear multiple times, as they are organized based on each page. If you run into any problems, need help finding a specific link, or find something that is missing, feel free to let me know! Anything labeled with “Direct Download” means that it links to a file, and other notes are included to show which links lead outside of the Gameware Europe domain. I hope this will make it easier to access all of the official Creatures material!

    Just want to say thanks for all that hard work on the links and getting an easier way to them I had found the restored site a while back and downloaded a bunch of the info off of there incase it was a fluke it was up. Keep the Creatures Dream alive. Again thanks for the hard work you have done and will do in the future.

      You’re very welcome, and I’m glad that this resource will be of some use! It’s a great idea to make backups of the official downloads. Your words are very kind, and I hope to help keep Creatures alive and well for many years to come! I hope you’re enjoying playing the games!

    I went through all of these and archived the ones that weren’t yet in the Wayback Machine, files included.

    The only downside is that the C1 Genetics Kit is corrupted all the way on the site when downloaded in Windows 10, including the DLLs it tries to install, which meant I had to run SFC /scannow from an admin command prompt to repair all those files.

    I’m not sure if anyone will see this comment, but if you have a working Genetics Kit that doesn’t crash on gene edit attempts, or the C1_Gen_Kit.exe that can be unzipped and whose file extensions aren’t using an underscore for the last letter, I would LOVE to get my hands on the intact files (chemicals, Genetics Kit and PoseName, all extensions used for each of these files). I’ll leave my
