Did you ever have a tamagotchi?

[Kayla45]

I loved them in middle school! Everyone had one, even the boys. 😆

Yes

No

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Long ago, my sweet li'l niece gave me one.

I never played with it because I was considered myself too old for that.

I simply displayed it in our kitchen.

However, she played with it every time she came over to visit us.

Thank you @Kayla45 for the MHO. :)

[Apple1996]

I still have one now lol I bought a new one last year for me and my son to play with

[Skinhead-1979]

I just about missed that phase I believe.

Yeah, just checked; they came out in 1996 in Japan and 1997 the rest of the world. I was 17/ 18.

Just about to derail completely, going to raves a lot and partying on Speed, XTC and Cocaine for many nights while hanging out with completely the wrong 'crowd' (I quit after 4-5 years; I had to) .

OMG memories I used to have one. I had a blue one with yellow buttons and I would carry mine all the time and then I reset it just because I wanted a certain shape and it was just so cute.

No but little girls had them when I was a kid. The novelty lasted a few months and then died pretty fast. Nobody I knew was using these anymore about 2 years after that time.

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, I had pokemon, but I saw other kids with it at the time.

[AviatorTom]

I didn't but my daughter had a Tamagotchi when she was young. Took pretty good care of it.

[dolemite58]

My sister had one, it always seemed boring to me lol

[FunkyMonkee]

Yes and all the girls love it because it's 9" long!

[goaded]

No, but I had one of the earlier games where you had to catch bananas or something.

[exitseven]

Yes, but I had it surgically removed by an oral surgeon.

[Wiredone]

They weren't around when I was growing up. My daughter did have 2 of them when she was younger

[rosemilk]

yes 😭 miss those simpler days

[IslaTheWitch]

my older kids had... :D

[Lynx122]

No i didn't. I was kinda confused by it :)

[Fireguy17]

I was too old for them.

[mrkdvsn]

Never heard of them. What's the purpose?

[Kayla45]

It was a virtual pet that you took care of, I popular among girls at first, but then quickly spread to boys as well as the shell designs of the devices became more boyish for them too.

[mrkdvsn]

Sounds like that fad from many years ago, where you could own Pet Rocks

[Anonymous]
