Since we talked before on here about how cool it'd be to use our old Macs to
access Usenet and read news & stuff like back in the day, I've decided to make a
first step (and hope ya'll join in?)

Quote from Mac OS 9 Lives:

DeskPets for Mac OS 9
DeskPets (working title) from Manticore Software is a pet simulator in which you
start off with a pet, can find a job to earn money for supporting your pet,
buying new items for your home, or save to buy more exotic pets. It's set in a
dystopic future where animals are endangered/almost non-existant.

The game is currently in alpha status with about 90% done. We sure hope it'll be
out soon! Here's three screenshots from an older build:

So there's three screenshots of Desk Pets on the page too.

The game looks like something my little girls would love to play. After all, we
never got our official Tamagotchi port for Mac OS, did we? Seems perfect to play
together with the child / grand-child / niece / nephew sitting on your lap :-)
