| Gameboy Tamagotchi |
| Tamagotchi, the hand-held diversion, has
singlehandedly spawned a slew of clones and ignited a
cottage industry across countries and cultures. Some
views attribute the popularity of Tamagotchi to the need
for people to have something that relies on them for
nurture. Call it the mothering instinct. That may be one
reason why so many people have pets such as cats, dogs and
birds. Tamagotchi is an alternative to a real pet that is
self contained and leaves the owner with no physical mess to clean up.
Another bonus of a digital pet is that you won't ever be faced with
furniture that has been wracked by claw marks or
urine stains. Tamagotchi replaces real pets and gives the
owner a limited number of responsiblities without
real-world consequences. Perhaps thats the attraction
where you have little guilt when Tamagotchi dies because
of your neglect or carelessness. |

Gameboy Tamagotchi is markedly different from the
hand-held version. Since most people cannot leave their
Gameboy on at all times while their pet matures, the
Gameboy version of Tamagotchi is more an action game in
an environment than it is a growth simulator. |
