Computer Petz
by Maggie.p, Canada
Editor: Tiffany, Canada

Everyone's talking about the new thing - Computer Petz... They can live in keychains, like Nanos and Tamagotchies, they can live on your websites - Cyberpetz, and they can live on your computer - Petz by PF Magic...

Petz by PF.Magic are the best, in my opinion... they're live, unlike Cyberpetz and have a real personality, unlike keychain petz... They eat, sleep, play, and even breed on your desktop - "all the benefits of a real pet with out the need of a pooper scooper" is what pc game critics say about the program...(Check them out at www.pfmagic.com -- but when AGW tried, their server was down.)

The name of the latest (and best) edition is Petz3... You can find it in computer stores everywhere! There are 2 versions... Catz3 and Dogz3 that are sold seperately... They're not cheap, either, about $40 Canadian apiece! To me, it's worth the price paid because there is so much you can do with these programs! The possibilities are endless!

There are 10 different breeds of each species (catz and dogz) you can 'adopt' as many petz as you wish and can play with up to 4 at a time!

The home adoption center is just the beginning! You can download petz from almost any petz 'site on the internet. Here's a page to get you started. The Virtual Pet Links page has links to toy companies and places that are creating more and more stuff for your Petz program! New breeds, clothes, toys, backgrounds, etc.

In the program, your Petz can visit the Beach, play in the Backyard, eat in the Kitchen, or snuggle up by the fire place in the Living Room, or maybe dress up in the clothes closet or play in the toy closet!

I've enjoyed this program so much, I've created my own website on that topic.

You can also go to places like the Technosphere. TechnoSphere is a 3D model world inhabited by artificial lifeforms created by WWW users. You can see how your critter does when it encounters other critters made by other members.
