Virtual pet website

GoPets was a virtual pet site that involved raising a customized three-dimensional pet downloaded onto a user's computer. GoPets was launched on August 4, 2005 and shut down on November 8, 2009. GoPets resided not only on their owners' computers, but also visited GoPets members around the world when sent, invited or when pets decided to travel on their own.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0

Products and brands

One of the GoPets stores is devoted completely to minigames. These small games can be purchased just like any other GoPets item and played on the owner's desktop. When a GoPets user purchases a minigame, it will appear in their Inventory. To play it, double-click on its Inventory icon. The most recently released games are downloaded and played independently of the GoPets' client.

Three other minigames were previously retired: Freethrow Shootout, BullsEye, and SkeeBall. Those released later have different rules, a different prize point payout and were downloaded from without the GoPets client.

There were seven in all: Poker, Diner Dash 2, Eets, CandyShot, Sudoku, Shangai and Magic Ball.

GoDance, a rhythm game, was released for free to GoPets users. There was a forum dedicated to GoDance which includes the latest link to download the updated GoDance game as well as talk to other GoDancers.
