Tamagotchi, Do you still have one? Options

[Peter]

So I'm cleaning up my room, throwing away old trash and things I don't need, and I came across a little white egg shaped deal in the bottom of my drawer. I pull it out, and lo and behold, it's a Tamagotchi! Now, I haven't played with this thing in ages, so I find myself a CR2032 battery and it fires right up. Now, I'm chuckling to myself because all sorts of old memories. And then I was wondering, does anyone else still have/remember their first tamagotchi?

The very first one I had was the Digimon one. That thing was so very cool. You could link them up with other Digimon ones and fight them TO THE DEATH! ... Okay, so it wasn't THAT serious, but it was still really fun. The one I have now isn't quite that cool, it's called a Tamagotchi connect, and it has a little infrared sensor on the top that you can exchange gifts with your friends.

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I had a hard time figuring out what exactly a tamagotchi was. :P So feel free to move it if this isn't where it goes.

Thoughts/opinions?

Heh, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who still had mine!

HMFarmergirl19: Haha, I know what you mean about them dying all the time. This current tamagotchi hasn't been to it's oldest age yet. The only one I ever got to the final stage was my Digimon one, which became a Metal Graymon. Lol. It was so awesome though. He was the man. But now they're virtually impossible to find.

Ryuujin: Heh, I know what you mean. When I pulled mine out it was like a wave of memories washed over me. So now I'm playing with mine again. I know I was in grade school when they first became popular. I can't remember exactly how old I was, but it was definitely a long time ago.

FarmerChic: Haha oh man. I remember our teachers HATED us for having them. They seriously couldn't stand those things. They'd try and take ours until the end of the year, but we snuck in and stole them back. Heh. The good ol' days.

Co'coa: That is absolutely fantastic you still have yours, and multiple generations, at that! Alas, mine is the newer Tamagotchi Connect, but it is the first generation of them. Too bad no one else around me plays with them because my friends list on that thing is empty. Ah well. Such is life, it seems. You should fire one up again sometime. Haha.
