Breathe Life Into Your Virtual Petz
Mattel Interactive launches the well-loved and extremely popular Catz and Dogz, making their way from the PC to the Colour Game Boy.
Mattel Interactive launches the well-loved and extremely popular Catz and Dogz, making their way from the PC to the Colour Game Boy. Kids will love feeding, grooming and nurturing their furry friends in this carefree virtual world. Practice makes perfect with this foray into
the fun yet informative environment of interacting with Petz so kids can experience all the joys of 'pethood' without the mess. The Petz are endowed with special artificial
intelligence that allows them to interact with each other and you simultaneously. Catz and Dogz are available now at £25.00 on Colour Gameboy, for ages 8 and up.
Users first have to adopt a pet from the pet store by choosing the pet and making the adoption pledge to be responsible for the care and affection of the chosen pet. Available
separately, both Catz and Dogz come with three Petz characters ready to adopt, including Sophisto the Siamese, Homebody the Persian, Chi-Chi the Chihuahua and Scrappy the Mutt. Catz and Dogz also include an assortment of core items such as Flea Spray, a brush for grooming, a rubber bone, a stick for fetching, a water bowl and fish and bone treats to reward your Petz. Kids can choose from a randomly selected assortment of special toys for their Petz, such as a jingle bell, a flying disc, or a rubber ball. Owners are encouraged to acquire more special toys by sharing with other Catz and Dogz owners via a Link Cable. Once an owner acquires all the special toys, a hidden bonus toy becomes available automatically!
Anthony Parkins, Games Product Manager at Mattel Interactive commented: "The Catz and Dogz range are designed to provide children with an invaluable insight into the responsible world of caring for pets. They help combine imagination and fun with learning and stimulation, all in the safety of a controlled and risk-free environment."
