So in 1999, a company called Mindscape (now known as Ubisoft) released a game called Babyz to go along with their Dogz and Catz games. The Petz games allowed you to adopt and care for virtual pets, but Babyz took it one step further, allowing you to adopt, play with, and care for virtual babies! These babyz start out only knowing how to crawl on their bellies and baby-babble, but as you play, they learn how to talk, crawl on all fours, and even eventually stand up! They have personalities-- some are happy-go-lucky, while others seem to be grumpy all the time. They like or dislike different foods and toys and even get along with or detest different babyz.
After the game came out, a community formed around it. The community brought babyz up to an even higher level, learning how to alter the hairstyles, clothing, toys, and other aspects of the game to create truly customizable and amazing babyz. That community, which has been around since the game came out in 1999, still exists to this day and is very active, thriving, and tightly-knit.
Essentially Babyz are like adorable pixel adoptables (which I know many of us love) except interactive!
I'm telling you all this because I wanted to know if there was anyone out there who played this game as a kid and wondered what ever happened to it? Or people who played the petz games, perhaps? The community forum (Milk) is always welcoming new members and can easily help you to obtain a copy of the game as well.
