I ran something called Dogz [1] which was a pretty advanced dog simulator. You could train the dog to perform tricks or punish it if it did something you didn't like. They claimed to use AI and it worked very well although I don't know how much much was placebo. In any case, I remember it as being well ahead of its time.

I had both Catz and Dogz but I don’t recall them ever interacting with the desktop.

Fun toy though. Kind of like a tamagotchi.


You could bring them out of the "pen" and then they'd run around on your desktop.

Tamagotchi. Now that's nostalgia for you.-
