All of this then deposits you into the space exploration bit of the game. To escape the Civ stage I (a species denoted by blue blobs on the map) had to conquer or convert cities of another species (denoted by an almost identical shade of blue). I mean Maxis whittled a grand oak tree down to a toothpick and expected players to climb it. And when I say ‘pared down’, I don’t mean the way a bulky, unwieldy log can be refined into a sleek occasional table. The Civ phase is a pared down version of Civilisation.

Life itselfīy the time I made it to the Space stage the idea of grinding missions for cash to expand my empire was exhausting Booting it up a decade later (or rather, booting it up on Steam, trying to coax it into recognising my EA login so I can access other people’s creations, then realising that system seems hideously broken on Steam so booting it up on Origin instead) that feeling of aimlessness returned, as well as a new awareness of the jarring switches between game stages, and how the space segment at the end dwarfs the other modes. But the experience of actually playing any of it has faded and been replaced by the sense that it was one of those games that just didn’t really seem to go anywhere. One was waddling around on land for the first time after graduating from the Cell stage to the Creature stage, and the other was the row about DRM. There are two Spore experiences I remember clearly from 2008. In many ways, Spore was No Man’s Sky before No Man’s Sky.

Back in 2008, Spore was a source of daft community character creation joy, incredibly uneven ambition and a massive row about the digital rights management software EA insisted on using at launch.
