In Petz 3, 4, and 5, the petz can be bred, allowing for a pretty much unlimited number of possibilities. The original Petz games offer many different ways to interact and enjoy them aside from simply playing with the petz, including "hexing" or hacking the game's files to change how things in the game look/run, the appearance of the petz themselves, and create new breeds. A large online community sprang up around petz soon after the first games came out, and it's still around today. It's just a cute, fun, addictive little program. I've been a Petz player ever since 1998, when I found a copy of Dogz 2 in a computer store that was going out of business in California. Each breed has a basic set of personality traits, but individual pets themselves can have their own behaviors and quirks. The code behind all this is simple, but brilliant. These games revolve around adopting pets from many different breeds of dog or cat, each breed having it's own unique looks and personalities. Ubisoft has since put out lots more games with the "Petz" brand name on them for various different platforms, but they aren't anything like the original 5 Petz versions. This was the last old-school style Petz game. Another company, Ubisoft, took the Petz brand over and released Dogz 5 and Catz 5 in 2002. Dogz 2 and Catz 2 soon followed, then 3 and 4. The first Petz programs, Dogz and Catz, where put out by P.F. Petz is an interactive virtual pet simulation program for the PC.
