This is a real video game, and I used to be obsessed with it. You played as a god-like being, could be good or evil, and had a giant monster for a pet. I never really progressed very far in the game, but between the virtual pet aspect and being able to throw villagers around, there was a lot of ways to kill time with it.

I would recommend it, but aside from it being a computer game that might be difficult to get to run on modern computers, it wouldn’t surprise me if it hasn’t aged well. I wouldn’t say it was all that spectacular in the first place, but, you know. Throwing villagers and petting giant monsters. Good times.
