The original Dogz game was first released on November 1st, 1995. That means today marks the series' 20th anniversary! Clearly, we can't let this go by unnoticed, so here's a thread with some odds and ends for the occasion.
Activities!
A few members have come up with fun, nostalgic activities for this special month - which will be linked here as soon as they get up and running, so be sure to leave a post!
Old-school breeding contest
Old-school hexing contest
Let'z Play Petz!
Let's Drew It Puzzle Challenge #1
Gameplay contest
There's lots of discussion about activity ideas here, so make sure to take a peek if you need a little inspiration. (I especially want to see the original breeds re-created for the newer games!)
Play the originals!
What better way to relive the old days than by ACTUALLY literally reliving them? skissors has a guide on how to get the original Catz and Dogz games running on modern-day computers: click.
Old sites & other interesting reads
Another great way to indulge in pining for old times is by checking out some of the relics of the internet, dating all the way back to the golden age of petz...
