My oh my, I was so delighted when asked to review this nostalgic 90s toy that I could not wait to get started once I received it.
Having 5 young children back then, I could not wait to share this with my grandchildren and tell them all about how their Mums and Dads (Aunts and Uncles) were so delighted to have had one of these. We got straight to work when we had a big family early Christmas gathering and it was so much fun.
For those that do not know or heard of Tamagotchi (where have you been!) Only kidding! They are a virtual pet that comes in the size of an egg shaped keyring and you just basically, have to keep alive. It has three buttons which you will need to press to select and carry out activities, these will include giving it attention, toilet activities, feeding it, giving it medical attention and even discipline it (sounds like any child; LOL). There is even a game on it to play.
This tamagotchi is bright and bold in colour and has so much character and it would seem that knowing which one of the 7 adult tamagotchi you end up getting will be depend on how you look after and care for your child tamagotchi.
I particularly loved the discipline function. You can just be sitting there quietly watching television, reading a book or just taking some time out and the tamagotchi then wants your attention. It has been fed, played with and you have even carried out other tasks to ensure it is ok but it just wants your attention, so, that is where the discipline comes in. If like me; you have a dog or dogs, it is just like that. Just as you sit down, the tamagotchi wants or needs your attention.
