Spore is Will Wright’s ambitious 2008 game about life on every scale. You begin as a tiny cell in a tide pool, evolve into a creature, form a tribe, build a civilization and eventually explore a galaxy full of other species.
Its editors became the star of the show. Players created millions of creatures, vehicles and buildings, shared through an online database. The Galactic Adventures and Creepy and Cute packs added more parts and space missions.
