NiGHTS into Dreams… is a computer game from the Jump 'n' Run genre that was developed by the Sonic Team and first published in 1996 by Sega for the Sega Saturn . A special feature was that it was mostly sold together with a special game controller , which was one of the first analog control devices for game consoles.
description
In NiGHTS you control one of two possible game characters in order to collect Ideyas that are scattered in the dream world Nightopia. These are crystals that represent parts of the personality of a dreaming being. In addition to the normal running and jumping, the game offers flight sequences when the player merges with NiGHTS, a former vassal of Wizeman, the villain's villain. In these sequences, multiple combinable movements are possible with the analog stick, which increase the number of points.
Another special feature in this game are the inhabitants of the dream world, the Nightopians. You can interact with your character to a certain extent, which the game registers and saves during the course of the game. The interactions affect the mood of these residents, and depending on the mood, the music of the game changes in a variety of ways.
Special edition
In December 1996, a stand-alone expansion was released that became known as the Christmas NiGHTS . In Japan it was sold with the console, in America it was included in various magazines.
