Many animal games owe their history to the popular Tamagotchi. This was a handheld digital pet that became one of the greatest toy crazes of the 1990s. Many animal games launched to coincide with the popularity of Tamagotchi, including Digimon World, Zoo Tycoon and Animal Crossing. This was then followed by releases where animal games were incorporated into traditional franchises, such as The Sims 2: Pets, then the release of FarmVille saw animal games become even more popular. At its peak in March 2010, FarmVille had more than 80 million active users on Facebook, with players harvesting crops and raising livestock to unlock rewards. Animal games take many forms. You can rampage through a city as an ape, save the lives of animals as a vet, or play as an animal yourself. If you like, you can even step into a magical realm and play with unicorns or other fantasy creatures. With animal games, you can interact with your furry friends whenever you like. These games are especially loved by those without pets, as they allow players to raise an animal of their choice in whichever way they like. If you prefer, you can choose to save the lives of injured animals or discover what it would be like to be an animal in the wild. Thanks to the huge variety of titles, every member of the family will find a popular animal game they love.
