Development
Creature Shock was initially developed as an exclusive for the Sega Mega CD, with release planned for early 1995 by Virgin. development was then shifted to be one of the first titles available for Atari's Jaguar CD. both versions were delayed and eventually cancelled due to poor reception of the Jaguar version.
It is not known if the Mega CD version was cancelled prior to the Jaguar versions announcement or if both versions were planned to be released simultaneously.
The game was eventually released in 1996 for the PlaySatation, 3DO and Saturn to critically negative reviews, with a CDI version being released only in PAL territories in 1997.
