.co.uk Review Make way for Babyz! Adopt an adorable virtual kid in this amazing, playful CD-ROM simulation of child rearing from the company that brought you Catz and Dogz. Each Babyz (that's singular, too) is darling and unique--choose one of 15 to adopt or, if none of them is just right, check out their Web site with plenty more to pick from, changing every day. You can have up to three in one house, and then the fun begins. Name your Babyz, clothe them, give them toys, feed them, watch them play in the backyard, or just give them a tickle when they look bored. The software runs both like a normally selected program and as a screensaver--if you're not careful, the Babyz will take over your screen when you're not looking! The graphics are playful and imaginative, the costumes are cute, and the house itself is full of stuff for the Babyz to explore. The package comes with voice-recognition software so you can even talk to your Babyz--or teach them to speak. Short, simple words will start yammering back at you before long, and you'll wonder how you ever lived without a babbling Babyz in your computer. --Rob Lightner Manufacturer's Description From the creators of Dogz and Catz, comes Babyz, the next generation of virtual life.

Haven't got the game yet, but to those who have had trouble running it on pc I've done some searches and apparently you can fix the sound/ running problems on Windows XP by downloading the PetzA patch available here http://www.sherlocksoftware.org/page.php?id=6 . It fixes compatibility issues for Babyz and several Petz games among other things. Will edit this when I get the game to confirm whether or not this works.

ANNOYED TOO!!!
I must admit I didn't look too closely at the compatibility when I bought this off Amazon. For goodness'sake, this thing is only compatible with machines several years old. I think it's a bit misleading of Amazon not to point out that this won't work on any machine you will have purchased in the last few years. And you can't run it in a previous-compatibility mode since that doesn't seem to work either. Waste of money.

Babyz - you can make this game work!
This is a very enjoyable game and my 6 year old loves it! Bought it for 60p at my Mum's summer fair. Didn't realise it only worked on W95/98 PC (luckily, I still have one!) but downloaded this patch: http://www.sherlocksoftware.org/page.php?id=7to update the game and it worked perfectly on XP laptop. Sherlock should bring the game back as lots of little girls would love it!
