SimEarth: The Living Planet/Start up menu


 * Load Data: Loads a previously saved game. This option only appears if you have a saved game.
 * Scenario: Allows you to play one of the game's scenarios.
 * Random Planet: A randomly-generated world in which you may choose to start in Geologic, Evolution, Civilization, or Technology time scale, then experiment and do as you wish.
 * Daisy World: A world in which the only biome is the daisy. Daisies change their colour and regulate with respect to the temperature.  White-to-yellow daisies grow in areas with high temperatures, and orange-to-red daisies grow at lower temperatures.  It is a test of James Lovelock's theory of how plants regulate themselves and their environment.
 * Dictionary: An in-game manual, explaining all terms and objects in the game.
 * Backup Initialize: Erases all stored data in the game cartridge, reverting it to its original state. This option only appears if you have a saved game or have completed at least one scenario.
