First released in [[1997]], the MOPy fish program holds the [[Guinness world record]] for the most downloaded cyberpet. [http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record_subcategory.asp?subcategoryid=34] The MOPy fish can remember how it has been treated over the last week, therefore altering its behaviour to correspond with its care. The MOPy fish will become aggressive if not fed in five days and becomes depressed in 10 days. If the MOPy fish is neglected and not fed, it will fall sick and die after three weeks. If the fish dies, all the MOPy points accumulated are lost and the fish can only be brought back to life via a menu. [http://www.mopyfish.net/mopysite/index.html] |

Revision as of 03:48, 10 October 2008
The MOPy fish is a freeware cyberpet, released in October 1997 by Global Beach which had been downloaded more than 10 million times as of the year 2000. Based on two blood parrot cichlids, the MOPy fish has a complex behaviour pattern.
History and Behaviour
First released in 1997, the MOPy fish program holds the Guinness world record for the most downloaded cyberpet. [1] The MOPy fish can remember how it has been treated over the last week, therefore altering its behaviour to correspond with its care. The MOPy fish will become aggressive if not fed in five days and becomes depressed in 10 days. If the MOPy fish is neglected and not fed, it will fall sick and die after three weeks. If the fish dies, all the MOPy points accumulated are lost and the fish can only be brought back to life via a menu. [2]
MOPy Points
For each original document you send to print, you earn MOPy (Multiple Original Printouts) points.
The more MOPy points you have, the more accessories for your fish can be earned, making your fish happier, and enhancing the appearance of the on screen environment. The accessories are as follows:
- 800 points: Rock and Plant
- 1600 points: Bubbles
- 2400 points: Thermometer
- 3200 points: Aphrodisiac Fish Food
You must download the Aphrodisiac Fish Food with a key you get after 3200 points; however, it is no longer available from HP. The site http://www.hp.com/go/fish is no longer available.
