Oddballz is a virtual pet game created by PF Magic in 1996 as a wacky alternative to their Dogz and Catz titles. It comes with a free Starter Kit demo for the players' friends, screensaver, Oddballz Web Fun Pack of clipart and seven of the thirteen available official breedz.
The 13 official breedz include Honker, Quadrapus, Norvil, Zott, Jester, Snowbo, Walret, Dynaroo, Modvark, Lips, Skorch, 102 and Grinnz. The first twlelve of the Oddball eggz are in tray 1 and then Grinnz, the thirteenth Oddball, is in tray 2.
The game has a lot of toyz to play with but be careful, some of the toyz in the Toy Module are disciplinary or can be used as a discipline tool. The robo pogo, for example, has two likenesses: In its play form Norvil likes it but in its discipline form - the spiky pogo - all the Oddballz (excluding Quadrapus) dislike its painful spikes.
Toyz
In the Oddballz game, toyz are objects that oddballz can play with and include:
Liquifood - gelatinous food for oddballz
Grubz - worm-like creatures that oddballz love to eat as food, they can be used as treats when training oddballz
Loco-pop - candy for oddballz which causes them to become "loco", or crazy for several seconds
Seismo ball - used to discipline oddballz by dropping it on them and causing them to explode
Robo Pogo (and its alternative, the spiky pogo) - pogo stick
Sno-blaster - used to discipline oddballz by shooting it at them and freezing them temporarily
Transformer - mutates oddballz into other animals
Pop Box - plays music that oddballz like to sing and dance to
Gravitron - attracts all other toys and oddballz to it and causes oddballz to decrease in size
Atomic Ball - ball that oddballz love to chase. When held over an oddballz, it increases in size.
Other objects that the player interacts with are:
Light switch - pull on this to turn the lights on and off and see how the creatures behave in the dark
Flavorizer - select colors and textures and use the Flavorizer to color liquifood, oddballz, grubz and the loco-pop. Each oddball has flavours and colours which it particularly likes or dislikes: favourite, poison and allergic. If you give your oddball food of these flavours or you colour them in these colours then you may see the oddballz affected; they may explode, shrink, grow or change colour etc.
Camera - press this button or "space" on the keyboard to take a snapshot of your oddballz and save it in .bmp format.
For Windows/MAC
ITEM IS: USED - CD IN SLEEVE
WHAT YOU GET:
This auction is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the
title. If more then just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual,
etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will
be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front
and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to
verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again,
ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of
game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots
may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on
one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly
the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers
release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the
game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the
buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words
"system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for
software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...)
This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be
researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or Vista will not specifically state they will work on
that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most,
will work on XP or Vista with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased
on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will
definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For Macintosh games, most older
games will need to be run in classic mode if you have a newer MAC OS version. Please research
Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information. For DOS games, you may need to play
it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD,
floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the
needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
SHIPPING:
We typically ship all items out within 2-3 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling,
remember that these costs include more than just postage. We combine shipping and handling, with each additional item after the first
just $2 more. Message us for an invoice if Ebay doesn't automatically adjust it.
International buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending
on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the
arrival process.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
Please message us prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback in order for us to help solve your problem.
