Year 5 encore
Do you guys (fellow pymblians) remember the good old days of obsessively playing pc games on our brand spankin new laptops in year 5? We were introduced to the idea of 'shareware', exchanging exciting fun filled games, and of course deadly viruses as a result. My absolute favourite pc game was Dogz and Catz 3 - a virtual game where you had to take care of your pets which involved feeding them, playing with them, helping them mate, watching them grow, teaching them tricks, and so forth. I religiously played it - keeping track of my family trees and cross breeding to the max to produce beautiful mixed babies :P
My computer crashed one unfortunate day in year 7 and I thought I had lost all my pets. But alas, I somehow managed to find a way to restore them - what a glorious day! However, to my horror I had discovered that my Catz 3 CD broke - it was a TRAGEDY. This would mean that I would not be able to restore my beloved cats!!! I wept and wept for days, mourning the loss of my babies. And that was that. *sniff*
Recently, coming across Electronics Boutique with Lillian in Sydney Central Plaza, I found - yes that's right - Dogz 5 and Catz 5!!!! My eyes widened and memories came flooding back into my head. MY game! MY childhood game!!!! And it was on SALE! 25% off!!! Which meant $7.35 for each game!! How bloody cheap!! I HAD to buy it!
So here I am, a few days into playing Petz 5 and I am luvin' it. It's changed quite a lot from the old petz, for example the graphics and the breeds. Haha what's more is that I just downloaded some ratz and mice - people out there spend time making different breeds/playscenes/toys/clothes for this program - and they are so damn cute! They're a bit annoying with their incredibly high pitched sounds though, but their adorable looks make up for it :)
Originally I was going to make the effort into putting up photos of my current pets, but I don't think anyone is really interested in my little obsession :P
Aahhhhh I feel young again :)
