For the sake of his tribe Darwin and his people would need to venture out into the world and evolve.
During the game the player is directly in control of Darwin, but can also command the followers directly around him.
These followers can be commanded to attack animals, carry items, or complete tasks such as building ramps and bridges.
Finding items while exploring can increase Darwin's stats and the number of followers he can bring with him.
Items can also be returned to Darwin's village to expand and upgrade the services available there, such as healing at the mess hall or recruiting additional followers at the bar.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Darwin 4081 for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Darwin 4081 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1990.
