Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be a god? This game can give you a rough idea. It is a life simulation real-time strategy single-player sandbox game. In Spore, players need to develop a species — right from the stage when it’s a microscopic organism to the time it evolves into a social, intelligent being. It is divided into five distinct stages: Cell, Creature, Tribal, Civilization, and Space. Each stage is unique and presents different challenges and goals. The way in which one plays a particular stage affects the level of the next one. Therefore, every action has a consequence. Players need to complete the primary objective of each stage to advance to the next. The easy-to-use creation tools allow players to build their universe and create vehicles, creatures, buildings, and even star ships. It has been released for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
High up in the Himalayas, a small village is in the middle of a crisis. Twenty-four priceless treasures have been stolen and some people believe that the notorious yeti is the culprit. However, the village elder realises that not all is as it appears and decides to summon his young friends — the ClueFinders — to solve the mystery. This is where you come in and begin your quest to find the missing ancient treasures. Clues are scattered throughout the game through which one needs to deduce who the thief is and where the missing items have been hidden. Once enough clues have been collected, one can narrow down the number of possibilities until the answer emerges. The game can help you hone the basics of algebra and geometry, decimals, fractions, tables, number computation, graphs, and even problem-solving. It is available for Windows and Macintosh.
