I'm 22 years old and this game has been coming up in my head for about a week. No idea why, but nostalgia made me find it. Everything about this game, from the look to the characters to the sounds, all of it is a rush of good memories of simpler times. For a while I thought it may have been some weird fever dream. Good to know there are others out there who have shared this experience with me
So I had a game design class and the Jumpstart company appeared briefly and I had a flashback of when I was like 7 which was like 10 years ago. I have been on a hunt for this game forever and I'm not gonna lie this game did bring tears to my eyes. Thank you for this.
Dude, I'm 20 now. I hadn't thought of this game in 12 years, but my mind decided to bring the memory back to life on a random night while drifting to sleep. When all that mattered were games like this, the sounds, visuals, and characters scratched that nostalgic part of my brain that missed that deep sense of innocence and immersion. This was one of the few video games that acted as an outlet for my childhood need for exploration and curiosity. That will always be something that I cherish about this game. I'm playing it now, and this game was ahead of its time. 10/10 Jumpstart is the goat.
Literally played this at like 6. I just started have frequent dreams like nightly of this game, specifically of catching those bug things, but couldn't remember the name. I did some serious research to find this. Thank god for this video.
This is absolutely crazy, I've been on a hunt for this game recently! I just found info about it today, and you uploaded a video yesterday! Do you by any chance have a link to where I can download this?
I absolutely remember certain mechanics of this game. But this is one of those memories that I haven't thought of in so long that I can't fully remember it. A synapses thing probably, but that frame-rate is accurate. I wonder if anyone's PC could run it smoothly LOL
dude I’m 18 now, I used to play this when I was 6 or something. I don’t know what it was but there was this one area that was locked that had a sign that said “coming soon” or something and I would come on the game every day expecting it to be available 😂
I remember my cousin had this game and we'd play it at her computer, I'm pretty sure we had no idea what to do though, only how to move around and catch the, uh, "hoverflies" hahaha
I’ve been looking for this game for years, tonight was the night I finally decided to find it. Me and my siblings used to play this all the time and I always remembered a blue dinosaur thing. And especially the catching butterflies. This just brought back so many good memories thank you.
it took me so long to figure out the name of this game but it’s been in my thoughts for so long and is a part of my childhood. watching this gives me so much nostalgia bruhh
@@Aurevoirshoshanna mine was playing fetch with the pets under the tree in that redwood park place!! that was literally all i had to go off of and I've got no idea how tf i found it literally didn't even play the games. just got pets
I’ve been looking for footage of this game for so long. I felt dizzy when trying to search for this game, like trying desperately to remember a distant memory. I’m 18 now, and played this game when I was most likely 7 or 8 years old. It’s really hard to remember.
Austematic Tha Tragic duuuude me too, I remember there was that one area on the beach with a zip line, & it said I had to be in like 4th grade to unlock or something...
Tucker Johnson I’ve been searching for a video of someone going down that zip line all day with no success... did they ever make a game where you could even do it???
i was wondering too but i think i found my answer: if you got the disc as a part of a 4 cd pack, pet playground is only a demo and u cant unlock those other areas
Turning 18 this year and my god I've had some of the background noise in this game stuck in my head, and I could not figure out where it came from, after days of searching I found it. Thank you
the memory of this game just resurfaced so i had to find videos on it thank you! i remember there was an area that always said coming soon but no matter how long i waited it never opened up and eventually i grew up and forgot about the game. i wonder if it still says coming soon,,,
I’m 23, and this is the most nostalgic thing ever, i couldn’t remember what this was called but i thought of it every so often. i remember having a pet, and giving it a bath 🛁 my younger brother said he played this too:))
I’m literally 18 and havent thought about this game in…awhile…it popped in while i was at work like two days ago and i could visualize it so much but forgot the name. Just remembered seconds ago and ran to find it.
It’s nice seeing this, knowing it was made about 20 years ago, and being thankful there isn’t any try-hard creepy garbage waiting to jump at the player. Ig the only creepiness I remember is the quiet walking sections where you can only hear your footsteps.
jesus christ i've been wondering what this game was for ... ever? i don't think i even knew what it was while i was playing it lol. and my memories are so fragmented. i think i always thought it was just a demo because of all the "coming soon" signs? does anyone know if it ever was updated? i wouldn't have known where to start at that age lol.
As a 20 year old, I used the word jumpstart in a conversation and just got thrown back in time and I could not rest until I found evidence that this game was not a fever dream thank you.
does anyone remember the town you could go to and make pizzas? i can’t find a single video on it and at this point i’m wondering if it even existed at all LOL
yeah honestly there was something so unnerving about this game... I know someone was talking about Portal and general source games - the unnerving feeling of those ambient noises but no one Nearby. I never played those types of games, but man this game just came to mind, and it suddenly clicked why this was so eerie. It never was something i thought about a lot, yet it was always there at the back of my mind.
I know the feeling. I used to have this game in my nightmares growing up. It’s kinda creeping me out to watch this video. I’m 19 goddamn years old, and it’s giving me the chills.
I played this game EVERY SINGLE DAY AS A KID, i've been looking for the name for years. Does anyone know if the game is still up? And how can i get the game? I have a windows 10 computer.
ive been trying to get this game to work on maybe 3 different laptops now and ive tried everything, i even tried setting up multiple different virtual machines to no avail. im able to boot up the game and walk around but any time i get the the arcade and select a learning game, the game crashes and i have to close it. any help?
does anyone remember the portal thing that went to cliffs over the sea and the zipline that goes into the water? i have been thinking about it for so many years and finally i am trying to find it
I rmemeber my disc got scratched but it was my favorite game for yeArs and then I found out my best friend at the time had a clean one but I never got to play it, I need to make a list of old games I wanna get for myself because id still play this and I’m 18 👀
Dude so happy i came across a random instgram comment that said this games title, the moment i saw it inwas like "THATS IT!! THATS RHE GAME!!" ever since i was a child its been a fever dream of a game
I remember playing this game as a kid, I never realized that I had to do things so I would log on to see if areas were unlocked and since nothing opened I logged off
I vividly remembering there was a pet with some kind of fire design on one of these jumpstart games. Was it this one?? I can’t find any images or videos showing all the pets!!
I’m 18 now and this game just randomly entered my thoughts.
same here, lmao
Same here buddy
Same here, friend!
Same
Same but bro, I couldn’t for the life of me remember what it was called
this game was my childhood oh my god i’ve missed it so much
I’ve been looking for this for so long, I couldn’t read when I played this so I just ran around
@@samuelbaisden1194 I knew how to read but literally same.
Ya
Oml same, my grandma downloaded this on her computer and gave us an hour to play on it. I always played the cat lmao
Yep, this needs a tv show
Is it just me or does this game feel like a fever dream
That's what I was wondering
it really does lol
perfect way to describe it
This and reader rabbit definitely are!!!
Today is probably one of the most fulfilling days of my life. I’ve been looking for this game ever since I lost it at 5 years old…. I’m 20 now.
Dude literally same situation. But now it’s shut down :(
Same😭 it's been 10 years for me tho

I'm 15 and I would play it at school and I NEEDED to find it
That noise of the animals shaking is so nostalgic.
So I had a game design class and the Jumpstart company appeared briefly and I had a flashback of when I was like 7 which was like 10 years ago. I have been on a hunt for this game forever and I'm not gonna lie this game did bring tears to my eyes. Thank you for this.
Same 😭😭😭
I'm 17 and just remembered playing this at my Granny's house when I was like... a toddler. It's so bizarre to see it. It feels like a fever dream.

Glad I’m not the only one who randomly remembered this game as an adult.
9:57 man I wished you picked out a pet so I can get the full nostalgia feeling. But still appreciate the video, thanks for uploading this
Literally played this at like 6. I just started have frequent dreams like nightly of this game, specifically of catching those bug things, but couldn't remember the name. I did some serious research to find this. Thank god for this video.
im so glad im not the only one who remembered this randomly
I remember getting this game free with a movie when I was younger. I sometimes remember this game every here and there.
Was it Snow Bud? Because I got it that way, too.
I also got this game free with a movie. Can't remember what it was though.
This is absolutely crazy, I've been on a hunt for this game recently! I just found info about it today, and you uploaded a video yesterday!
Do you by any chance have a link to where I can download this?
archive.org/details/JumpstartPetPlayground2006 here you go
I find this game in my old things! Nostalgia..
@@nostalgivault3439 How do you download it?
@@katy9569 You scroll down and click on the 'ISO Image' link on the right side.
ME TOO OMG
This was my child hood game, I’ve been trying to find out if I can still play it lol 😂
Lmk if you find out lol
Update: I found out, they're all on archive.org, but the way to get it is different for each version
it’s changed a lot. 😐
I still have my CD 😂
@@Mello7800 same 😂😂 I've tried to play the CD cause I don't wanna buy a membership but it won't work 😭😭
@@Mello7800 Mine is somewhere.
I’ve been trying to remember the name of this game for YEARS
i got elephant's memory, and I still remember it
(i miss jumpstart, despite being a teen, it's just a perfect game)

@@redluckog7008 Sounds vaguely familiar to me
@@TheThunderWeasel I only remember when we could get the pet snails in that one world!
I remember my cousin had this game and we'd play it at her computer, I'm pretty sure we had no idea what to do though, only how to move around and catch the, uh, "hoverflies" hahaha
Same XD I was always stuck in one place
I'm almost 18 and I'm genuinely considering playing this for the nostalgia.
I'm 19, and last month I spent a good 3 hours playing JumpStart Artist so yea this should be fun.
I'm not the only one who use to revisit it!
I'm 15 and needed to find it
This hits different bro
Truly
I’ve been looking for this game for years, tonight was the night I finally decided to find it. Me and my siblings used to play this all the time and I always remembered a blue dinosaur thing. And especially the catching butterflies. This just brought back so many good memories thank you.
Damn, I’m 22 now. This game was everything when I was younger
I would spend Hours playing this!
So the lag wasn’t just my computer! Holly crap, this game was a fever dream 😂😂😂😂
Loved this game as kid 😢 makes me really happy to see it saved here for new kids to see
I REMEMBER THIS!!! :O I was looking for this for so long
but I could've sworn it went up to 5th grade...
It did! It changed a lot tho):
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG YEESSSS NOSTALGIA
it took me so long to figure out the name of this game but it’s been in my thoughts for so long and is a part of my childhood. watching this gives me so much nostalgia bruhh
after all these years. i finally found it. literally only had a vague image from my memory to go off of and i found it
SAMEE, a vague memory of mine was making ice cream in the town
@@Aurevoirshoshanna mine was playing fetch with the pets under the tree in that redwood park place!! that was literally all i had to go off of and I've got no idea how tf i found it
literally didn't even play the games. just got pets
@@erinsnyder5638 that’s actually impressive lmaooo
Jumpstart was such a big part of my childhood 💙💙💙 reminds me so much of a simpler time.
This game wasn’t just some sugar fueled fever dream by my 5 yo self????
I thought the same thing lmao anytime i tried explaining it to someone they looked at me weird
this is eerie how accurate it is...
I’ve been looking for footage of this game for so long. I felt dizzy when trying to search for this game, like trying desperately to remember a distant memory. I’m 18 now, and played this game when I was most likely 7 or 8 years old. It’s really hard to remember.
bro serious question how do you unlock the extra areas? I"ve been wondering since I was 6
Austematic Tha Tragic duuuude me too, I remember there was that one area on the beach with a zip line, & it said I had to be in like 4th grade to unlock or something...
Tucker Johnson I’ve been searching for a video of someone going down that zip line all day with no success... did they ever make a game where you could even do it???
bro same. i’ve wondered it since i was little too.
@@tuckjpg the ZIP LINE dude I forgot about that it drove me insane
i was wondering too but i think i found my answer: if you got the disc as a part of a 4 cd pack, pet playground is only a demo and u cant unlock those other areas
the fact i finally found this after this game coming up in my mind for YEARS. i remember playing this in my 1st grade computer class
I have been searching obsessively for the last two days to find this. I thought it was a fever dream
Turning 18 this year and my god I've had some of the background noise in this game stuck in my head, and I could not figure out where it came from, after days of searching I found it. Thank you
the memory of this game just resurfaced so i had to find videos on it thank you! i remember there was an area that always said coming soon but no matter how long i waited it never opened up and eventually i grew up and forgot about the game. i wonder if it still says coming soon,,,
why did this game raise me... i played this every day
I don’t know!
Second grade looks like an adult
Yeah! I thought about that too!
I’m 23, and this is the most nostalgic thing ever, i couldn’t remember what this was called but i thought of it every so often. i remember having a pet, and giving it a bath 🛁 my younger brother said he played this too:))
my childhood summed up into a game
I played the hell out of this game as a kid lol, I would love to know my actual playtime
The theme music triggered my nostalgia like... painfully 😭
lol I love how CJ looked entirely different in every jumpstart game.
im 21 now and I lost this game a WHILE ago because everyone I described it to told me I was thinking of Toon Town. thank you for this.
I’m literally 18 and havent thought about this game in…awhile…it popped in while i was at work like two days ago and i could visualize it so much but forgot the name. Just remembered seconds ago and ran to find it.
I remember trying to play this, and it worked to an extent, but at a certain point, Windows XP just said “no.”
I attribute every ounce of my lifetime success to this game
It’s nice seeing this, knowing it was made about 20 years ago, and being thankful there isn’t any try-hard creepy garbage waiting to jump at the player. Ig the only creepiness I remember is the quiet walking sections where you can only hear your footsteps.
nah im about to cry im 25 and just remembered this game and how much i played it
3:54 Love This Music.
jesus christ i've been wondering what this game was for ... ever? i don't think i even knew what it was while i was playing it lol. and my memories are so fragmented. i think i always thought it was just a demo because of all the "coming soon" signs? does anyone know if it ever was updated? i wouldn't have known where to start at that age lol.
I BEEN LOOKING AND FINDING THIS GAME FOR YEARS AND FINALLY FOUND IT
I remember playing this game and getting so mad because i never could get gems and buy pets hahaha
22 and I remember this game was one of my favourites
As a 20 year old, I used the word jumpstart in a conversation and just got thrown back in time and I could not rest until I found evidence that this game was not a fever dream thank you.
Omg I remembered playing this game!!
I randomly had a dream of this game last night and I just had to track it down for some reason. Thank you for this 😂
does anyone remember the town you could go to and make pizzas? i can’t find a single video on it and at this point i’m wondering if it even existed at all LOL

OMGG DID I JUST FIND THE GAMS THAT IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR FOR YEARS??
IVE BEEN LOOK FOR THIS GAME !!! For 4 years now!! This is my childhood game 😭 I used to love catching the butterflies with the purple elephant!!!
All I did was take care of the pets and watch the train, I didn’t care about the schoolwork
Makes me happy to see all these people who had the same childhood as me
One of my few positive childhood memories!!!!
Dude so happy i came across a random instgram comment that said this games title, the moment i saw it inwas like "THATS IT!! THATS RHE GAME!!" ever since i was a child its been a fever dream of a game
Don’t mind me, just a 22 year old unlocking forgotten memories
So good! This deserves a movie
I loved this game so much. I was so disappointed when the disc had a bad scratch and made the world all glitches and unplayable. I miss it!
the memories🥺🥺
I used to leave my dog at one side of the map, run to the other and then call him and get scared when he would run at me from afar 😆
My brain: hey, remember that game from over a decade ago? Me and 13000 other people: yep
the memories man 😂 I just randomly remembered playing this
Bruh this game brings back so many memories I remember playing this so much when I was 6 pretty much the first video game I ever played
i actually just broke a tear bc i just found this
I remember playing this game as a kid, I never realized that I had to do things so I would log on to see if areas were unlocked and since nothing opened I logged off
Why is the slide not there in the game but it is in the commercial?
Hang on. How the hell did you manage to get a full on JumpStart World DVD disk?
DBP on YT the Cowboy that’s what I was wondering
I had one too
my fucking childhood,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I miss this so much . I want to re download and stream all these some day🖤
Why does the trailer look different then the actual version
I miss being a kid 🥺😭💙💔
this game felt like a fever dream and i couldnt remember the name so literally searched computer cd game with dogs interactive world teaching tricks
I vividly remembering there was a pet with some kind of fire design on one of these jumpstart games. Was it this one?? I can’t find any images or videos showing all the pets!!
this is way more educational than i remember
I remember playing this on my Dad’s computer❤
I finally found this video game after years of wondering what it was!!! I played it so much as a kid!
I’ve come to see those who also experienced this
i remember playing this when i was younger and repeatedly going down the slides
LOL I remember leaving the ginger patched black dog up the higher ground then leave him after catching the elevator
I've been trying to find what game this is for years! It was on our family computer when I was maybe 10 or 11. I played it all the time.
Damn, I remember playing this in kindergarten. I'm 23 now lol.
omg this game was my childhood.
Ok this game randomly entered my head. I remember it clearly now!
This game brings back so much nostalgia
