Hi everyone, I've been meaning to make a post for a while now! I first played petz years ago as a child and I decided to dig it out and play again (after finally discovering how to get an old game to work on my laptop!) I'm completely new to the petz community and I hope I can get involved and adopt some awesome petz C: If anyone has any tips/guides they would be greatly appreciated as the community side of petz is completely new to me. I had a bit of a scare recently as each time I would open my game it would behave as if I had never opened it before- asking me to enter my serial number, reset play scenes, every time I opened it a random pet would come to the pet door and every new item I added to my carry case would appear as a tennis ball! :C But I clicked run as administrator and now it seems fixed!! phew

Welcome to RKC. :) Glad you got the issue taken care of. Petz is a little off with the newer computer systems.

Thanks rebellingsocks! I'm glad I'm not the only newbie in the community C: Thank you everyone for the welcome! I have a quick question- on other people's petz eyes I have seen light reflections (for instance on the cali cat on the rkc petz logo at the top of this page) and I just wondered what they were... are they achieved through hexing? :3

"Eye shinies" can be one of two things: - an edit made to the picture of the pet (I'm pretty sure that's the case for the pet on the banner); - a clothes item downloadable here. Also, welcome! It's always wonderful to see new PC members!!

They are usually edited on the pictures, the actual pet in game doesn't have them. Storymaker explained it pretty clearly so I'm just going to give you an example. The petz in my avatar (Éponine and Enjolras) have them edited on in the avatar picture, but in game they don't. These are the unedited pictures: As you can see they actually have normal petz eyes. It's just to make the pictures look nicer. ^^

Actually, Catz 1 works better on my computer than 5 ever did! ^^ Was a lot easier to get to work too. All I had to do was install it. Petz 5 was a hassle. That depends on your computer though, I think on how many bit emulation you've got. Mine is 32 which means it can easily run the old games that are 16. Other modern computers have 64 bit and cannot run the old games anymore.

Wow I'd never have thought! Yeah I had to change my screen resolution for my game to work properly.
