TRIVIA

Released on September 30, 1997 in the USA.

Nightmare Creatures was the first video game to be created with LibSys, Kalisto's own proprietary 3-D development program. The game's environments were modeled from 19th century maps and blueprints.

Bidding for the game's publication rights was reportedly fierce. Initially Mindscape was slated to be the publisher, but the publication rights to Nightmare Creatures were acquired by Activision just before the 1997 Electronic Entertainment Expo.

In North America the PlayStation version was promoted with a television commercial featuring a voice-over by Maurice LaMarche.

The game was rated E (Everyone, it have content that may be suitable for ages 6 and older) by ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board).

Nightmare Creatures was a commercial hit, with global sales above 1.5 million units by January 2000.

On December 8th, 2000, a film adaptation based on the game was announced, but never went into production.
