i used to have my nintendogs take part in fashion shows, in which I would play Colonel Bogey to make them march round in a circle and then i'd switch out their hats and glasses and collars until either i'd exhausted every accessory i owned or the music came to an end

i also used to lull them to sleep with the Naptime record, only to then terrify the living daylights out of them by following up with the Surprise record - because i was a cruel and merciless child and the nintendogs were my poor and abused playthings - but that's neither here nor there

I'm pretty sure this is the version me and my sister had as kids. (I'd borrow it off my sister and in return she'd borrow my World of Warcraft account I shared with my Dad.)

A product of its time and in an age where smartphones were far from mainstream, the simple simulation / gameplay loop felt revolutionary.

I remember walking the dog around the city at night the most.
