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 twelve 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.
Third party developers produce additional breedz, playscenes, liquifood flavors and developer tools for the games.
