Messing around with Catz

  • For those of you who don't know, Petz was a series of animal simulation PC games made during 1995-2000, it was made by P.F. Magic, who were notorious for making the abomination on the Genesis and SNES known as Ballz. Unlike that, however, these games were actually somewhat interesting. Though they weren't technically games, they were more like simulation programs. (Sort of like how Mario Paint wasn't really a game, it was mostly an art tool for the SNES.)
    I just happened to stumble across my old Catz CD a while ago, (which also came with some version of an free 30-day trial of AOL, as many software CDs came with it during the mid to late 90's, as well as the shareware versions of Dogz, Oddballz and Petz 2. All of which I remember playing, along with Petz 3.) so I decided, what the hell, I may as well make some filler.
    Recorded in DOSBox using Windows 3.1. And yes, I have Calmira. Go me. :D

    The sound of the cat brings joy to my ears and to my heart.
    I can picture myself playing this in the den with my sister sitting to my left and the both of us are laughing as we watch an adorable cat munch on a treat. Those were such good times. Then of course time sped up. Now my sister and I hardly speak to one another. Not because she's sore at me, but because her life is intertwined with the family she has created. It might be selfish to say, but, I sometimes wish I could go back and persuade my sister to stay single, so I always have a friend.

      feels good, doesn't it! a more innocent time for computers, it felt so exciting and adventurous using computers back then, now it's just a part of normal life. this game was so addictive, I played it on a friend's computer many times and I had grand ideas about it. I will come back to watch this video from time to time to remind me of good times :)

      1.) Google a laptop that is compatible with Windows 95.
      2.) Go on Ebay and find a cheap laptop.
      I did this. I bought a laptop for $62.00. I installed Windows 95 using the OS boot disk. The OS boot disk cost $12.00. Not a bad price tag in comparison to the $880+ laptops today.

    • @eclecticreader961
      @eclecticreader961 Před 4 lety +1

      Yeah, taking the cheese off the shelf encourages the mouse to leave its hole. I personally wouldn't recommend taking the cheese off the shelf though, because then the mouse comes out whether or not you picked up the cheese (a kind of glitch occurs). The cat becomes distracted and that takes the fun out of watching it play with its toys.

    The operating system? No, that's Windows 3.1 with the Calmira shell replacing the Program Manager. It was meant to be a semi-replica of the Windows 95 GUI, intended for 386 and low-end 486 users who were unable to upgrade to Windows 95, or they could upgrade to it, but it would run like molasses.

    To be fair, Petz 4 & 5 were nothing more than rehashes of Petz 3. The only major changes were the ability to make custom playscenes (Which I will admit was pretty cool.), minigames which I felt were stupid and pointless which got in the way of simply getting toys for your Petz, and the ability to have more offspring. For me, the series stopped being interesting after Petz 3 and it just got even worse after Petz 5 when they shot for a more realistic look and made it into a shovelware series.
