In Transgenic Bestiary, players
create virtual hybrid creatures using
a database of sequenced animal DNA.
The game’s ostensible goal is to create
a potentially viable animal, but what
players learn as they progress is that
the mixed species have to be closely
related taxonomically, or else the animal
will not survive. Designer Nicolas Myers
says his concept is quite plausible,
noting that the game uses largely
existent technologies and concepts.
