Attention All Animal Lovers!

Pet Pals: Animal Doctor Now Available To Download and Play

Los Angeles, CA, May 8, 2007: Legacy Interactive®, a premier developer of Real Life Games®, announced today that Pet Pals: Animal Doctor for PC and Macintosh is available for purchase as a downloadable game from the Legacy Interactive game portal - www.legacygames.com, and from other popular portals such as www.trygames.com and www.bigfishgames.com.

This expertly designed sim-vet game leaves no detail unexplained, no medical term undefined, and no curious player uneducated, as the player must diagnose and treat a huge variety of adorable but helpless pets. Unlike games where you develop a business, Pet Pals: Animal Doctor emphasizes deductive reasoning and experimentation, making it an indispensable learning tool for adults and children. Winner of a Parents' Choice Silver Honor Award, the previous games in this best-selling series include Zoo Vet, Vet Emergency 1, and Vet Emergency 2, which together have sold more than 500,000 units. The Children's Technology Review recently presented Pet Pals: Animal Doctor with its Editors' Choice Award, placing it in a category of '"no fail" products, "worthy of their cost, and able to keep children engaged for days at a time."

"Legacy Interactive is proud to introduce Pet Pals: Animal Doctor into the homes of Animal Lovers everywhere," said Ariella Lehrer, Chief Executive Officer of Legacy Interactive. "The game is a fun and educational experience the whole family can enjoy, and now can be purchased easily and securely from the Internet, as a digital download."

Pet Pals: Animal Doctor gives players the chance to assume the role of a veterinarian. With advice from vet technicians, players care for 35 all new animals, ranging from a Saint Bernard to a clown fish, and many more familiar and exotic breeds. More than 40 realistic medical tools allow the player to gather samples, palpate and examine the animal, and even perform surgery. As the game progresses, players are rewarded with job promotions, awards, and new game features, and well as the satisfaction of having cured these cute but sickly critters. Pet Pals: Animal Doctor offers three different levels of play, allowing players of all ages to experience the excitement of being a vet. At the most difficult setting players must make diagnoses and perform treatment with no hints or prompting.

This latest installment in the series of successful vet-simulation games by Legacy includes a host of new features. At random intervals during game-play emergencies arise that require attention immediately, just as in a real clinical setting. You also have the opportunity to follow up with your furry patients and see how successful your treatments were. Finally, when you are ready to take a break, there are fascinating mini-games with lots of animal facts and information about real life vets.
