Since 1996, the virtual pet toy have been a childhood iconic toy for most of the kids from that generation.
I remember my first tamagotchi which my granma got for me from Japan many many years ago and it was a dinosaur. And then it broke... somehow... Later on, the digimon craze came about and my dad got me a digimon version 2. It was pretty fun at that time, but I kinda treated my digimon as a tamagotchi... cause it was similar in my opinion. And then the battery died.
Years later, I had always craved to have one but it was always too expensive or not worth buying and all that (cause when you are a very poor student, you can't afford a lot of things). And then I graduated and got a job, and I remembered that tamagotchi dream I had...
So, I did a research on it to see what kind there was and I was throughly surprised by the ways that virtual pet toy have evolved too... There are sooo many versions out there. I chose the version 4.5, Familitchi which is a tamagotchi which is family based with almost 3 pets everytime they breed and so on. I got it off eBay and we have lived happily ever after since. ^_^
