VirtualHamster is a fun program that simulates a pet hamster. You can feed it hamster mix, lettuce, cheese, or treats. You can pet it, squeeze it, refill its water bottle, clean up its poop, turn the cage light on and off, and more. You can set its sleep and wake times so it is active whenever you are. You can name the hamster and change the background schemes of the windows. VirtualHamster is a complicated simulation that closely resembles owning a real hamster! For people who can't own real pets or can't stand the smell, VirtualHamster is the perfect program for you!

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
==================
Any Macintosh PowerPC¬
Mac OS 8.5 or later
=================
GENERAL INFORMATION
=================
It is fairly straight forward. Double-click on VirtualHamster to run it. It is comprised of options of things to do with your hamster. For instance if you want to feed your Hamster lettuce, you click on the Lettuce radio button and then click on the Feed button. You do this for the other types of food and also to pet or groom your Hamster. You can even squeeze your Hamster (not to kill it, but like a hug). I will be adding many more features in later versions. Please send suggestions and I will see what I can do.
=============
SHAREWARE FEE
=============
VirtualHamster is shareware. If you decide to register VirtualHamster then you can either register online or through the included registration program. Registering motivates me to continue to develop VirtualHamster and any other future games. For more details, check the included file named 'How to Register!'.
