For immediate release

September 2007 - Focus Multimedia is proud to announce that its best-selling Petz® titles are now available for half their previous price.

Version 5 of the popular Catz® and Dogz® titles now reside in Focus' PC Fun Club range. At just £4.99 each, PC Fun Club titles are ideal pocket money purchases.

These two products are ideal for animal lovers, big kids included. Like real ones, the Catz® and Dogz® need someone to care for them and to treat them well. But beware, if you neglect them, they will run away.

From tiny little balls of fur, your pets grow up over time into adults. If they fall in love, they may even have their own little babies!

You must feed your animals, keep them clean, play with them and love them. They will show you love in return and do the cutest things, which you can photograph and keep forever.

Have fun with your pets; paint them different colours, dress them in silly hats and clothes and watch them parade around your screen. Adopt more than one pet and let them play together - or even buy both games and introduce your Catz® to your Dogz®, then really watch the fun begin!

There are lots of fun things to do; you can use your own photos to create playscenes for your pets to play in. You can travel with your animals to foreign lands, take them to the beach, or even just play in the garden. The possibilities are endless, and you'll have hours of fun together in these beautifully created worlds.

Craig Johnson, managing director of Focus Multimedia, commented: "For less than a fiver, Catz® 5 and Dogz® 5 are now an impulse buy for adults, and an affordable purchase for children with pocket money."

Catz® 5 and Dogz® 5 are available now for a suggested retail price of £4.99 each including VAT, from all good retail outlets of PC software. These products, and the rest of Focus Multimedia's range, is available to purchase direct from www.focusmm.co.uk.
