When a Fish Lived Inside Your PC: MOPy Fish | Nostalgia Nerd

I knew it wasn't a mandela!

Okay, that proved that I really don't understand even 1% of Software Preservation. I'm honestly impressed with all the preserved workarounds for a fish. Imagine other obscure programs.

Red dwaft pun … oh god, I laughed so much! Thanks so much

That MOPY Fish brings back memories of the 1990's at work. We had an HP5Si printer and I had MOPY running on my office computer. I compared the original brain.dat file that MOPY started with to a brain.dat file after printing for a while and found the print count and raised it to 14695 points. That way I had all of the accessories without wasting paper or toner! I just did a search on my computer and I still have the original MOPY Fish install files and hacked brain.dat file on backup drives. Thanks for the memories Nostalgia Nerd.

I dont think ill ever find it but there was another fish feeding game but very simple pixal and the fish looked really grumpy. Or maybe it was a puffer fish.

I remember this! Memory unlocked! 😊

I haven't checked on mine in about 2 decades. Hopefully he's ok.

9:29 Didn't expect that weird rendition of taps from Red Dwarf, but well-played, sir!

Oh my god I had this on my PC, you just unlocked some core memory I'd lost.

Oh man, I remember loving Mopy fish as a kid! Had no idea it had anything to do with printers xD

@3:35 I just bought a R2-D2 tamagotchi…
never had bought one in the 1990s, played a couple minuts on my bros's tamagotchi…
a friend had fun doing all the wrong things to make the tamagotchis' life hellish. This won't happen to R2-Gotchi.

He is in storage, offline.

that outro music is sublime

Poor nerd fish the first lost but never forgot

P2W, print to win. Given HP is so anti-business, shouldn't businesses be boycotting their products?

I loved to watch Johnny Castaway on my dad's PC as a kid
Talk about an iconic screen saver

Somebody send this to AVNJ

I was obsessed with basically all of these, and honestly, still am. It's interesting to see that this trend didn't continue so that there aren't really many up to standards versions. The best Aquarium simulation was Aquazone! I still have all the files and I hope I'll be able to emulate it when my steam deck comes!

i dont remember MOPy, but i do have extremely fond memories of the early 2000s PC aquarium simulators. in the one my dad had there were like 30 different types of fish and tons of plants and other decor and it was really cool. love this video.

I still have mopy on my windows 7 laptop ^_^
I was always sad as a child when he died

I laughed way too hard every time it died

9:41 , please tell me this is audio is taken from Red Dwarf

Omg, the Rimmer trumpet send off when the fish died had me in stitches. 😂😂😂

Windows 98 and MOPy Fish was a great PC orgasm! Especially for those who were introduce to the world of computers for the first time! A fan and an admirer from Pakistan!

Oh my god… I forgot all about Mopy Fish! I achieved such a glorious tank for him until the little prick died.
