Pet Rock: The Video Game is a virtual pet computer game released by Electronic Arts which centers around owning the eponymous Pet Rock. It was an attempt to revive the Pet Rock fad that occurred in the 1970s, which saw miners and quarry owners across the country become rich beyond their wildest dreams. All of the main actions in the game are pointless, as the Pet Rock does not need to be fed, played with, have its poop cleaned up, or require any sort of attention whatsoever. The game was widely successful, though nobody has a clue why. Just like the real thing!
