Genetic Drift is a game in which the player changes hostile mutants into friendly life forms.[3]
Bob Boyd reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "This is not a game for the pondering thoughtful player. I would recommend this game to arcade addicts only. The game can become extremely angering especially when you've got all but one form turned into a TV set and while waiting for it to come back into range you notice the heart peacefully drifting toward you from the rear is upside down."[3]
Scott Schram quit his job to write the game for the Apple II. He spent several weeks developing Photon Base, which Broderbund retitled Genetic Drift.[1]
