PC PUP & SPLAT THE CAT (detailed review), 23 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: 3-D Pets 1 Double Pack: PC Pup & Splat the Cat (CD-ROM)
I used to own this game a long time ago when it first came out, now im thinking of buying it again for my children they play it at school and love it, only problem is we only have windows xp and i dont think it will work on that ok so my review,
Splat will live for up to 60 days (60 pet years) if well looked after, but will never really die. At the end of it's life SPLAT will mutate back into an egg, ready for re-hatching so you can start all over again.
Splat (Cat) lives in an amazing environment with loads of things to do. You will have fun helping your pet to explore it's new world. And I bet it takes you ages to beat him at 4 in a row!!! ( yes you can play games with your little buddy ! )
Splat needs about 10 minutes of care each day but will be happier if you can give him more. If you go away on holiday remember to switch on the baby sitter so that your pet is well looked after until you return.
PC PUP
Not your usual dog........You start off with your cute little bundle of fur and feed him, play with him, love him as you should and sit back and watch him grow. This dog may lose his mind if well taking care of. You may find him singing, dancing, burying his bone everywhere & even watching TV !! Your new friend....Is he really a dog? Yes Sir, just a very fun dog!

Splat the cat will work on vista!, 16 Jan 2009
This review is from: 3-D Pets 1 Double Pack: PC Pup & Splat the Cat (CD-ROM)
This is not mrs susan lee, but I am her daughter and the game Splat the Cat was one of the first games I got when I was at least 6 years of age 11 years ago. This game is wonderful you start with splat hatching from an egg and starting playing with him, he is a very clever cat and plays connect 4 with you!. To make Splat happy you must do what Splat wants to do by looking at his thought bubble.
Now onto compatiblity issues first of all on Vista and XP:
1.DO NOT CLICK INSTALL.EXE WHEN IT APPEARS because the screen will appear with :
this game cannot be installed :
Must be at least windows 95 so it will NOT install.
To make sure it installs insert the game disc and instead of clicking install click open folder to view files and right click on the install.exe button and click properties select compatability and click it to windows 95.
After that click install.exe and it should then install!
2. After it has sucessfully installed go to the 3D pets folder and right click the 3DPET.EXE and select properties and click it to Windows 95( you should not CLICK SPLAT THE CAT.EXE FIRST. IN THE README IT SAYS TO CLICK 3DPET BEFORE SPLAT THE CAT. EXE. YOU HAVE TO CLICK 3DPET.EXE TO HATCH YOUR PET FIRST OTHERWISE IT WON'T WORK.)
Next is to then click the 3dpet.exe to hatch Splat the Cat out of his egg. after the hatching process you will then be lead to play the game.
3.After quiting the game go back to the 3D PETS folder and right click Splat the Cat.exe and select properties and click it to Windows 95.
This should then make the game work on Windows XP/Vista!
This process would probably work the same with the other 3D PETS Games too!
EDIT:
The game installs' on vista and plays sadly however it refuses to SAVE after putting the cat with the babysister or leaving it on its own ,When you click on the game
again it asks you to start a new game.So don't buy this game if you have not any of the older systems or a certain programme as it will NOT SAVE.
