March 22, 201412 yr I played the old school Petz games when I was a little kid and I was on Amazon and found a copy of Catz 4. I use Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 now and I'm really starting to wonder if a game like that can run on my laptop.
March 22, 201412 yr Oh my goodness I LOVED those games. ;u; I would always make my games crash by downloading mods to get dragons and unicorns and stuff, ahaha. I'm pretty sure you could! If it won't run directly, there are plenty of old windows emulators that you can install to make a disc compatible to play. ^_^ Just search the term "Windows XP (or 98 or whatever) emulator for Windows 8" and I'm sure you'll find something.
March 23, 201412 yr Petz Catz 2 is on Steam for like 10 dollars. It's probably more expensive but probably has a better chance of working without a work around.
March 23, 201412 yr If it worked on previous versions of Windows, chances are it will work on Windows 8. If it fails to run normally, right click the program's shortcut or executable and open its properties, then set it to run in compatibility mode for a previous version of Windows.
March 24, 201412 yr Wow I'm glad I found this, I lost my Catz 5 but I have Dogz 5.. I am thinking of ordering Catz 5 again off Amazon, it is literally like $5. Last time I checked, anyway. :D Thanks, guys. Edit: Omg this is so confusing. Can someone help? I also have Windows 8 and I want to play Petz... Eep. Help?
March 25, 201412 yr What would be a good emulator to use? I tried running Dogz 5 (On my windows 8) in Service pack 1-3 Xp, in Vista, and even in Windows 7. And... the petz come out with No eyes.. LoL. i had to install it directly onto my C Drive, so it's not in a folder. That could be a problem, as far as I can see. Sorry, Naamah, not trying to hijack your thread!
March 25, 201412 yr I had every version of Catz, and I miss playing on a new computer. I wish they would make a Catz 6 for Windows 7. Barring that, upgrade the whole series for Windows 7.

Lower your screen resolution to something like 1280x960 or until it works (1024x768 is the safest).
