NiGHTS into Dreams

NiGHTS into Dreams is a cross between a three-dimensional platform game, a racing game and a circus event. It combines a vivid sense of flying with the sensory assault of lucid dreaming and a constantly evolving soundtrack to create a piece of interactive audiovisual art.

Features

  • Constantly evolving score attack gameplay creates infinite replay value - high scores are still being broken ten years on!
  • Dynamic remixing soundtrack that reflects the emotions of Nightopians, the cute occupants of the game's levels.
  • Nightopians get scared, breed and learn new tricks. They even merge with the game's enemies to create hundreds of different types of mutants.
  • Soft Museum 300+ Link


    This is the first course from my favourite level, Soft Museum, and shows how the Link system works. Every item chained together increases your Link, and big Links equal big points. This showcases one of the best so-called "infinite" Links, where the items regenerate after every lap; skilful players could, without a time limit, connect them together forever.

    Those ScoreAttack.net players are amazing.

    System Requirements

    The specially-developed analogue pad is recommended to help players coax NiGHTS into the tight turns, but isn't compulsory.

    Similarly, a memory card would help as the A-Life file that contains the game's artificial citizens is rather large.
