Pet in TV, known in Japan as Ganbare Morikawakun 2Gou (がんばれ森川君2号), is a pet-raising simulation developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game was released in Japan in May 1997, and later in Europe in August 1998. Pet in TV consists of teaching a virtual pet known as a PiT (Pet in TV) tricks, getting it new costumes and learning it what items are edible in the wild along with solving random puzzles around the PiT world.
The player can choose from a selection of PiTs and name it. It is then up to the player to nurture their PiT and allow it to explore the 3D world, learning from its encounters with scenery and objects through trial-and-error. Once these behaviours are learned, the PiT will know how to respond to those objects in the future (such as a Flower, or a Spike). Whenever the PiT becomes injured, or tired, returning it to its home will allow Dr. Y to fix it.
The objective then becomes for the player's PiT to solve puzzles on its own - for which it will be rewarded with AI upgrade chips.
