These games have been called genetic artificial life games, or biological simulations.

Artificial life games are related to computer science research in artificial life.

It also includes genetic artificial life games, where players manages populations of creatures over several generations.

These games are part of a subcategory of artificial life game sometimes called a virtual dollhouse, a category which includes Animal Crossing by Nintendo.

In contrast to artificial life games, digital pets do not usually reproduce or die, although there are exceptions where pets will run away if ignored or mistreated.

Life simulation games (or artificial life games) is a sub-genre of simulation video games in which the player lives or controls one or more virtual lifeforms.

But one of the first commercially viable artificial life games was Little Computer People in 1985, a Commodore 64 game that allowed players to type requests to characters living in a virtual house.

A god game is an artificial life game that casts the player in the position of controlling the game on a large scale, as an entity with divine/supernatural powers, as a great leader, or with no specified character (as in Spore), and places them in charge of a game setting containing autonomous characters to guard and influence.
