yo so does anyone even remember pixelpals.exe? that virtual pet game that took over our lives back in early 2000s. can't find it anywhere now, no forums, no archives, nada. used to play it every day after school, like this really chill game where you could design your pet and just hang out on this digital island. somebody HAS to have a copy lying around right?

Hey there, I take lost media pretty seriously and had a go at finding pixelpals.exe a while back. The issue is it wasn't a big commercial release, so it's way harder to track down. From what I found, it was probably a small indie project. Your best bet might be digging through old shareware collections or reaching out to indie dev communities from that era. If it pops up, I'll defo post here.

Everybody's forgetting about pixelpals.exe because it's been erased. You know how it is with digital media, it's like they want us to forget the good old stuff and just consume the new trash they keep releasing. Bet it's buried in some secret server warehouse or something lol.

lol, I remember pixelpals.exe, but let's be honest, it pales in comparison to the pet games we got now. If you really want that nostalgia trip tho, why not try creatin' sumthin similar? Tools are way more accessible now, get gamemaker or unity and make yer own pixelpal 😎

Pixelpals? LOL, sounds like yet another pixelated piece of childhood y'all can't let go. Good riddance, let's make room for the better stuff, aye?

Wow, pixelpals.exe is a deep cut. I have a bunch of old CDs with shareware games. No promises, but I’ll dig around this weekend. If it’s there, I’ll upload it to an archive and drop a link!

I collect vintage games and software. Can't say I've heard of pixelpals.exe, but my interest is piqued. I'll reach out to some fellow collectors and hit up a few old game stores. If it's out there, we'll find it! Keep ya posted.
omg pixelpals.exe was my jam!! i totally forgot about it but now that u mention it, it's like all these memories flooded back. designing those pets was the best part, and the mini-games!! wish i had a copy to relive those days :(
