Tamagotchi

I received a Tamagotchi Connection Family Edition from a friend and her child on Wednesday night. They thought it would be a fun gift and yea, it kept her child settle and quiet. I am not too sure how long that will last.

They got me a Sing a Song design which has a bright lime green colored shell with pink and purple design on it. I am definitely not fond of the color green. It reminds me of puke which taking care of this Tamagotchi toy is going to be sickening.

First of all, for those who has been living under some rock, a Tamagotchi is an electronic pet toy. It was a huge deal when it first came out and it seemed every child in town has one. Mostly, they are girls. A high school friend of mine had one with her and took care of it like no other. I thought it was a chore. The damn thing kept beeping for attention it seemed. Plus I wasn’t into taking care of a round shape formed by pixels and it was a problem looking at it as the display sucked.

That area has not really improved. I am disappointed that they are still in black pixels. It will be a lot pleasant to have a colored display or colored pixels. The Tamagotchi is slightly bigger now and wider screen. The pets are no longer a rock like shaped. It changes to different shape as it grows up. I am still trying to figure out what they are. With the family edition, one gets to take care of 3 pets instead of 1. I thought that was going to drive me insane but hey, they do not beep for attention as often. I am so impressed with myself that they have not died yet.

Another new thing with the newer Tamagotchi is the online Tamatown, the ability to visit other Tama pets with the Infrared connection. It would be cool to have your pets registered in it and you get to visit each other online or something. At the moment the only one who has the same edition as mine is my friend’s child. I guess I will try that feature when I see her.

In order to play online, you will need a Tamagotchi Connection edition version 4 and above. More posts on the Tamagotchi will be posted soon.
