Want a baby? Why not get one on your very own computer? "Babyz" is an adorable computer game that should spark your own kids' imaginations. The baby which is on the box you purchase will be your baby, so after installing it, Babyz asks you just what you want to name your (first) bundle of joy. Pick your name, and roll! Take your baby to the changing room and pop him/her in the tub while you go through the changing room. This room has all kinds of features: hairbrushes for those babies with hair, medicine for the sick ones, thermometers, and lots of clothes. Get your baby out, scrub it clean with the towel, and then slip on a diaper of your choice. Beware: You must change diapers once you hear a squishy noise coming from your baby, for that means it has a very dirty diaper needing to be changed. Anyway, after it's clothed in such things from a tiger suit (a must for those adventrous ones!) to a plaid jumper with navy socks, take it on a stroll in the backyard, where a slide is all ready for it, meal time, where your baby will eat everything from mashed carrots (just take the carrot out of the spoon and it will give you a blob that they will eat) to oatmeal. Put it in the microwave and wow ! Suddenly it's heated up for your baby. You can take it into the living room where it'll listen to Bingo or Sonatina, and who knows ? Your baby could start to love Minuet in G! The possibilities are endless... take your baby to the spooky attic where you can get seeds and watering cans to plant flowers in the backyard, or when baby kicks up a tantrum, settle it down for a quick nap. Once it falls asleep, listen to it via monitors in every room, and go visit the house yourself. Also, if you have more than one baby, send one to Gramma's house (don't worry, he/she can come back at any time) while you and other baby explore. Of course, Babyz do get sick, and warm clothes and constant medicine help. So get Babyz! You'll love the fun, enjoyment, blobs of food all in your kitchen (must use a towel to clean up; otherwise you've got a nice redone kitchen), and dirty diapers of Babyz from Mindscape!

Ga-Ga Babyz Review!!!, February 13, 2003
A Kid's Review
Babyz is a great game for kids that don't need a doll... or just someone who loves babies! Overall, I like Babyz, but I don't like the part where you need to type in your CD's serial number, because if you don't get the serial number when you buy it, then you have to ask for help and don't get your unique baby that comes on the box. Anyway, when you start the game you will adopt your baby! First you type in your serial number. (Like I said, if you don't have it, you have to ask for help.) Next you name your baby. (Example:"David Clark") Then when you ckick "OK", you will read the adoption pledge and if you agree to the things it says, click "OK" again. Congrats, you have just adopted your baby! You will be taken to the play room (one of the rooms in your virtual house) to interact with your new baby. There are lots of toyz to play with such as the block box, the clown (who makes weird noises), and the rattle (a Babyz favorite!). There is a toy chest that you can store toyz in. There are three choices of designs (my favorite is the hippo) that your toy chest can have. Your baby lives in a virtual house and depends on you to feed it when it gets hungry. To feed it, click on the virtual house button, and click on the kitchen icon. You are now in a kitchen with a high-chair. There are tons of choices of food you can use to feed your baby with. Some Babyz like hot food, so you can put the food in the microwave. There is a milk bottle in the fridge for young (or all-aged) Babyz to drink. If the baby has been fed, then later you might need to change their diaper. Signs you know they have a dirty diaper are that they cry, or they sound all squishy when they crawl. It's simple to change their diaper. Just put them on the changing table, and drag their dirty diaper in the trash can. Also in the changing room are a bunch of outfits you can dress your Babyz in, and there are HUNDREDS (at least) of combinations of clothes. Babyz can take a nap in the nursery. One thing that really helps them fall asleep is if you get a record and the record player from the family room (Brahms works best) and take it to the nursery, and then put the baby in the crib, and play the record... that works. You can get two or more intercoms from the Changing room, and then you will know your baby has woken up, or is sound asleep. The back yard is a grassy area where Bunnyz might come out and greet you! You can slide your baby down the slide (shaped like a dinosaur). If you don't want your baby to eat in the kitchen, have an outdoor picnic in the yard. If you are bored with one baby, try two or three! Click on the blue stork button to go to an adoption center with FIFTEEN DIFFERENT Babyz to choose from. The baby will be uploaded onto your adopted baby file, and then you will have playmates for your baby. Two high-chairs will be found in the kitchen for faster feeding! The attic is... pretty boring, but there are flower seeds in there that you can take to the yard and you can grow flowers. You can take pictures of Babyz and save them to print out, give to friends... whatever you want to do with them! Make sure to take a picture of your baby when it walks! Voice recognition will let Babyz talk more! If you send your baby to grandma's house and they know how to talk, they will say, "Ga-ma." When they come back, they will say, "Ma-ma." (Or "Da-da.") Babyz will grow over time and may get sick. Feed them the medicine in the high-chair. Babyz will learn to walk, talk, and will grow teeth and hair. I hope this review helped you. BUY BABYZ!!!
