Tamagotchi

A Tamagotchi is a handheld digital pet device from the late 1990s and early 2000s. It features a small screen displaying an animated creature that players care for by feeding, cleaning, playing, and tending to its needs. The device mimics real pet care, requiring regular attention to keep the virtual pet happy and healthy. If neglected, the pet may become sick or "die," prompting players to start over. Tamagotchi combines entertainment with a sense of responsibility, engaging users in nurturing a digital companion through simple, interactive gameplay.
