''Petz'' (''Dogz'' and ''Catz'') is a series of games dating back to 1995, in which the player can adopt, raise, care for and breed their own virtual pets. The original ''Petz'' has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide and the brand has grown to over 22 million copies since coming under Ubisoft. == Gameplay == The player starts at the Adoption Center, where he/she may choose a Dogz or Catz to adopt of a Breedz and gender of their choice. Once the player has found a Petz, the user can adopt and name the new Puppyz or Kittenz. After around three days (real time) the Petz become adults. Adult Petz can then breed and have Kittenz or Puppyz of their own in ''Petz 3'', ''Petz 4'', and ''Petz 5''. Cross-breeding can create different types of petz, called 'Mixed Breeds'. There are a number of Toyz, food and water bowls, and Treatz available. Petz can learn tricks with positive rewards such as petting and Treatz, or trained not to do something using the punishment (water) spray bottle. Petz must be looked after properly; abused or neglected Petz may run away. Players may share their Petz with others who have the game via an email. Each version allows the importing of Petz from all earlier versions. There is also a camera feature, permitting snapshots of petz to be taken and saved as .bmp files. Other animals include Pigz and Bunnyz. Later versions of the games included a ''Petz Web Fun Pack'', ''Petz Publisher'' and a ''Petz Player'' web browser plug-in, allowing players to publish their Petz online in playable webpages.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.webpetz.com/Pet/Petz5WebFunPack/html/help.htm )〕 The Petz Publisher does not work anymore, due to the fact that the website has been remodeled with the newer Petz games by Ubisoft. Users learned how to reverse-engineer the system, and began producing additional Breedz, Toyz, playscenes, clothes, and developer tools for the games, as permitted by PF Magic, Mindscape, and Ubisoft Entertainment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Petz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
