I think you're talking about Karl Sims' work, done under the auspices of
Thinking Machines Corporation. There's an MPEG movie of this at
ftp://ftp.think.com/users/karl/creatures-demo.mpg
As far as I know, this program was written to work on massively
parallel computers (Connection Machines), with an SGI workstation as a
frontend. You're certainly not going to find a copy of it for
a PC, no matter how powerful the PC ;).
