As a kid I loved this game! In fact I love all of these games by last day of work. I played them every day growing up and took the step to buy Virtual Families after years of not playing. As for nostalgia it is great for people who are familiar to the series but £7.49 for a game that was made 12 years ago and my dog could make a better functioning game. It should not have this price tag, maximum they should price this at is £1 tbh it should be a free to play. Its a shame as I actually do have love for the game but I am refunding as the price is ridiculous! Especially when I got it on the playstore for £1 and it works 10 times better on tablet then computer... You can not even tab out without the game turning blue and unable to see or do anything! Such a shame but I would not recommend!
my entire childhood

[Pay-to-Play] I've always been a fan of Last Day of Work / Sandlot Games because my first laptop is HP and there are HP games (Wild Tangent) and from there I get to play games like Virtual Villagers, Virtual Families. This game is recommended if you like simulation games, like taking care of your little family virtually, think Sims in simpler version (i've never played Sims tho, teehee) It is a pity there is no Steam Achievements, but I think the longevity of this game is pretty endless, as in you can keep pro-creating for generations after generations There is no-stress playing this game as they require little attention <3 Childhood Memories~ Tags: [Point & Click] [Simulation] [Virtual] [Family] [Endless] [No Achievements]
This game was a staple of my childhood, and over 10 years later it still holds it's ground. It's perfect for keeping on in the background and checking in on every once in a while, or for changing the clock on your computer forward by a day or two to speed through the generations.

this games demo was the first game i ever played on steam as a youngin. Buying it and playing it now, I can say that its soundtrack is beautiful and i love just listening to the soundtrack while my virtual family goes about their day
Funky little game. I get real sad when I forget about my family. 10/10
[b] *Mixed Review [/b] I used to play this game at my friend's house on her computer every chance I got. This game is nostalgic as hell, especially since I played it on her family's HP Windows 7 computer on WildTangent Games. Despite being a pay-to-play platform, before Steam, in the late 2000s, WildTangent Games held it down for me. Now that I think of it, I think we stopped playing because we ran out of coins, lmao (this game's also what let us to play house too, lmao). All in all, before Sims and all those social virtual world games, I played Virtual Families. I didn't even know it had sequels, so I might try 2 and 3 since the first game was fun, but didn't really age well.
It's a game I remember and like. Now quit telling me to write a review
