Once they have found a pet they like the user can adopt and name the new puppy or kitten. The player starts at the Adoption Center,where they may choose a dog or cat to adopt of a breed and gender of their choosing. Petz has sold over 3 million copies worldwide. Petz Dogz and Catz is a series of games dating back toin which the player can adopt, raise, care for and breed their own virtual pets. I use it mostly for being able to take multiple pets out at a time, though I have fiddled with sliders.As part of the Unified Community Platform project, your wiki has been migrated to the new platform. This is a program developed by Sherlock Software which adds a lot of useful tools to Petzand I highly recommend taking a look at the page and considering it. You may have seen me post things with the. Windows will ask you about letting it change the hard drive when you run the program, just say yes it asks that for any program run in administrator mode. You can check a box to run it in compatibility mode for and then select Windows XP.Īlso try selecting the Run as an administrator option. If you right-click the icon you use to play the game, go to Properties at the bottom, then tab over to Compatibility. The first thing to try is to run it as admin in compatibility mode. Can you help me get Petz working on Windows? The graphics look really glitchy! Glitchy graphics is a common issue on Windows 7 and possibly Vista as well. And feel free to drop me a line about any success. The company never released a Mac version of Petz games because the market back then was mostly Windows for gaming.Įssentially, you simulate Windows and then run Windows programs.

I have yet to hear of an example of Petz running on a Mac OS yet. Honestly, I recommend buying the games instead. For that, I can help troubleshoot try running as admin in compatibility mode first. Graphics issues are probably Petz 5 the game having issues, though, and not these specific installs. Q: I want to play Petz again, do you know where I can buy or download the games? The second requires you to edit your registry. Feel free to send asks for clarification or more details! I just wanted a place to direct people instead of assorted past posts in the event of basic questions.
