Remember Tamagotchis?
The Tamagotchi was this super cool handheld digital pet, created in Japan which certainly made it into my pocket growing up in Nairobi. Tamagotchis live inside in a small egg-shaped computer with an interface usually consisting of three buttons, although the number of buttons may vary for different variations.
Basically the object of the "game" was to see just how long you keep your pet alive. The pet goes through several distinct stages of development throughout its life cycle and can "die" due to poor care, old age, sickness, and in a few versions, predators.
I owned two and accidentally over fed one and he died. *Sigh* Not sure what happened to the other one. In these iPad days, they probably make them cooler these days.
Either way, good times :).
:-) I had one too, while I was in the US of A in the late 90s. I might still have it someone in the house and it might still work if the battery can be replaced. Let me check...
ReplyDeleteThey used to beep often as a reminder and after carrying one around for some time, it felt like I was carrying around a cry baby and I decided that I will not have babies for a long time.
Haha! That's funny.
ReplyDeleteWell it was sort of a baby however I certainly hope you reconsidered having real babies :).
Thanks for stopping by!
