Tamagotchi (Toys)

Canadian Content > Recreation: Collecting: Toys: Tamagotchi:
 Additional
Information: Tamagotchi are small, plastic eggs containing a tiny computer with a simple black and white LCD screen. Below the screen are three buttons. The egg is attached to a keychain, to encourage owners to always keep their Tamagotchi close by. The eggs have different colors and designs on them, making them a collectors' item.
Caring for the Tamagotchi is fairly simple. A tiny egg appears on the screen after the unit was turned on. After setting the time and waiting for exactly five(or one, depending on what version you have) minutes, the creature hatches. Pressing the three buttons, the owner can feed the Tamagotchi, turn the "light" in the unit on or off (Tamagotchi had an hour when they would wake up and an hour when they would go to bed, necessitating such a function), play a game with it, give medicine to it when sick, clean its living quarters, check its status (age, weight, discipline, hunger, and happiness), and discipline the Tamagotchi. An eighth function could be used by the Tamagotchi to call on its owner. Each one of the functions had an influence on how well you were taking care of the Tamagotchi and determined what kind of creature it would be in its teenager and adult years.
Tamagotchi evolved. They hatched as a "baby," grew into a "child," evolved once again into a "teenager," and one last time into an "adult." Traditionally, there have been two different kinds of teenagers, one associated with good care, the other associated with poor care, and six adults, three for each teenager form. There have also been many secret characters with special prerequisites to get them.
After a few weeks of the Tamagotchi being an adult, it will eventually die. In the United States, the story is that the Tamagotchi goes back to its home, "Tamagotchi Planet" instead of dying.
There were many Tamagotchi spin offs released, including Tiger Electronics' GigaPets. Bandai themselves released several different variations on Tamagotchi, listed below. Although most Tamagotchis have the same basic concepts (happiness and hunger meters, discipline, etc.), each different kind of Tamagotchi had their own unique game, food, and sometimes had varying icons on-screen.
