GAME PLAY:
I have uploaded some screenshots which I took approximately five minutes ago (again, to prove the game works fine.) You can adopt various breeds of dogs, name them and explore the different areas and maps. It is all interactive; everything you click will cause a reaction! The items in your toolbox can also be customized, such as the music box can play whatever music file you wish. There are mini-games to play in the exotic maps. You can dress up your pet in the salon.
You can create your own playscene from the pictures on your hard drive. (And here, I will report the one glitch I found.) It says it accepts jpgs and bmps, but in reality, only bmps work. (At least on my computer. I dunno. Might be different on someone else's.) This can easily be solved with an image converter or just pasting the image into paint and saving it as a .bmp.
You can create a webpage for your pet, and the game provides tools for that. I think there are online content that can be added on but I haven't gotten around to learning how yet. Choosing the desktop option can send your pet to roam around your desktop where you can also use your tools.
ITEM DESCRIPTION
I've played it about three times. The cardboard case is a little battered from being stored, but the disk has no scratches. It runs smoothly.
I will ship the disk with the cardboard sleeve shown.
FREE SHIPPING TO CANADA ONLY
I WILL NOT SHIP TO THE US OR INTERNATIONALLY
(Ha - serves the majority right for enticing me with their free shipping, and then learning Canada is off limits. Also, I'm running low on stamps.)
