Wireless Pets
No walkies. No mess. Just fun.

Wireless Pets is the ultimate game for anyone with a penchant for pets, but cant bear the chewing, the howling, the walkies or the mess of actually owning one. Pets live virtually in Petville and owners can feed, play and care for them any time, any place, on their mobile phone. Prospective owners get to choose what sort of pet they want: a cat, a dog, a turtle, a dinosaur, a ghost or an alien. Some pets are pretty straightforward, but some are a downright mystery

Players adventure through the Shamutanti Hills in search of the Crown of Kings.
