Spore is a simulation computer game designed by Will Wright that is currently in development by Maxis to be published by Electronic Arts. It was first introduced on March 11, 2005 in Wright's lecture about procedural content generation at the Game Developers Conference.

Although not officially unveiled to the public yet, Spore will be a simulation that "ranges from the cellular level to the galactic level." Spore features several stages that are reminiscent of some of Wright's favorite games:

Tidepool stage, similar to Pac-Man
Evolution, Diablo
Tribal, Populous and Populous: The Beginning
City, SimCity
Civilization, Risk and Civilization
Invasion, similar to 4X and space colonization games

Trivia

This game is not to be confused with the 1987 game by the same name created by a company called Bulldog Software.
