Babyz Game
Babyz is a very cute game that is sure to be a hit. Upon seeing the Babyz website, I was eager to check this program out. It is like having a virtual baby and includes nursing a sick baby back to health, changing diapers, cleaning up after it, playing with it and teaching discipline.
You teach your Babyz to play, crawl, walk, talk and interact with each other and you. You interact with the baby using the microphone and the IBM Viavoice voice recognition program, which will also help the Babyz learn to talk. As with a real baby, you will find you need to use single words for people, actions, places and things. One of the most appealing features is that each baby has it's own unique appearance (different skin tones, amounts and color of hair, eye color, body builds, and gender, personality and likes and dislikes just like a real baby). Boys don't have long eyelashes while girls do, in case you can't tell them apart by their hair.
Babyz Free Download for PC is a computer game in which one can play with and take care of a group of babies who live in a virtual house on the computer. Babyz is a computer game in which one can play with and take care of a group of babies who live in a virtual house on the computer. The game was released in 1999.
Girls can also have no hair, very little hair or one, two or three ponytails. Each baby is given its own 'codez' or Babyz Adoption Serial Number. The Babyz will change their minds, just like a real child. It will also need to interact with you and other Babyz. Some are more social or will like certain other Babyz better or not get along with others at all. Babyz will throw food, have their favorite foods, 'toyz' and clothing. Some will be fussier, some will get sicker more often.
Also, Babyz will actually learn from you, hopefully like a real child. Other excellent features are the sounds of the program and being able to interact with your voice with the Babyz, utilizing the microphone included. The Babyz will coo, cry, fuss, giggle and eventually talk. They will try to let you know what they need.
If the baby starts crying, you'll know a diaper needs changing, sometimes before he or she starts fussing, as it's movements sound 'squishier' when crawling. Also 'toyz' such as the record player, mobile, firetruck, drum, toy keyboard and rattle make noise. You may have fun just playing with these items yourself.
The other background and interactive noises are great, too, like the sounds of the fridge running, the baby eating, the microwave, birds chirping and fireplace fire roaring. Also nice in the sounds and other effects department is that you can use the items in each room to some extent. The microwave actually lights up when you open it and makes microwave noises, for instance, or when you click on a book and open it, words, numbers and pictures appear so you can 'read' to the Babyz. You can also click on the camera button and take a picture of your Babyz and e-mail them to friends, print out the photo or share it with other people in the photo gallery on the Internet. There is a fairly good selection of 'toyz' and outfits from which to choose and you can go to the website and download more.
Each program comes with 15 Babyz to adopt in addition to the original. You can only interact with three Babyz at a time and any others you have adopted must be 'sent to Grandma's' or given up for adoption. The official website, as well as websites of other people who have the program, often have adoption links so you can have an even wider selection of Babyz to adopt. You can send the baby to daycare or 'sleepoverz' via the internet also; some people are developing health clinics that can take care of your sick Babyz and nurse them back to health for you or give you advice on how to do so.
One disappointment is the limitation of only one person being allowed to play with the Babyz at a time and everybody else must watch. My two year old godson loved the program and believed it was a real baby. He still drags his mother into the room and insists that she turn on the program so he can see the baby and watch her play with it. He interacted with what was going on in the program as if it was a real baby. Another disappointment is also one of it's best features: the baby grows and develops and learns but only until the age of about 15-18 months. While real parents agree that the Babyz program has them doing and learning things at about the right developmental stages and months, the baby only grows to a certain age. Then you might as well give it up for adoption or to a permanent visit to grandma's and just play with your other Babyz and adopt more.
You may get tired of the same rooms for the Babyz and the same 'toyz' and outfits. Mindscape does try to alleviate this by having items and outfits you can download and allowing the program to be used as a screensaver so that the baby can play on your desktop.
I also have to configure my computer differently to use this program in terms of screen size. I did not have this problem on a friend's computer, however. Other than these minor gripes, this is a wonderful, realistic (without being rated PG), fun, interactive game. Graphics: nice graphics and realistic movements although you may tire of same backdrop and need to download more and different toyz and clothes. Sound: Excellent sound and really neat effects both with background and baby noises and toy noises. IBM Viavoice is really neat. Enjoyment: Really cute program and fun to interact with.
Replay Value: After Babyz develop to a certain stage, they don't develop any more and you may want to give them up for adoption and play with your others and adopt more, or leave them permanantly at 'grandma's' People who downloaded Babyz have also downloaded:, ©2018 San Pedro Software Inc.

Babyz runs on top of the Petz 3 game engine, adding additional AI and voice recognition. For example, players can teach their Babyz baby talk, how to play with objects, and how to walk.
Babyz can also form relationships with other babyz that can result in sibling rivalries or friendships. When Babyz was first released in 1999, there were 15 babyz you could adopt and care for, as well as various toys that babyz could interact with. There were also many different rooms to explore and a number of different clothing items. Babyz reused some of the Petz toyz and had a similar home setting for its playscenes. Most of the game's original content can be downloaded and accessed by anyone via user-websites. Users have created ways to make the game playable with Windows XP and create custom content that users can use with their Babyz, as well as unofficial adoption centers and pages. A Babyz Community started on the official site, which has since been shut down.
The website offered adoptions and discussions. Soon after, people started forming their own forums and babyz websites with similar content. 'Pageants' are where people enter pictures of their babyz posing and earning awards.
In 2003, The Babyz Community Rating System, loosely based on the Community rankings, was created which allows people to register three or four of their babyz, and gain points whenever they win in a pageant. Around the same time, fan websites were going up, it was discovered that one could hex edit the babyz to introduce new hairstyles, eye colours, etc. These edited babyz ('hexies' or 'hexed babyz') and custom clothes were often available on fan websites and unique babyz became highly preferred over the simple ones that the game first came with. Many fans tried to petition the game's creators for a Babyz 2, similar to the five sequels that were created for the Petz franchise, however nothing ever came of this.

Today, user activity has continued to the point where many users testify that the dedicated hexers and custom content creators have banded together to essentially create their own 'Babyz 2,' despite the discontinued support from the original creators. Babyz was originally made for the Windows 95/98 Platform, however with the creation of a patch by Nicholas Sherlock, the game can now be played in Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7; both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Sherlock's patch, called 'Petz A' as it was intended for both Petz and Babyz, also made the game run much smoother, with the ability to change the game speed, save babyz' pictures in a different format, and also control many aspects of the game that users originally could not. It also introduced sliders to view and change the levels of the babyz' hunger, energy, sickness, and age. The Petz A patch can be found at Sherlock's website. Although not produced any longer, Babyz can still be found at various online retail sites including DirtCheapSoftware.com, Babyz.com, and through various Amazon and eBay sellers.
Most of these places offer information and limited support on applying the patch for newer versions of Microsoft Windows.
