A Tamagotchi is an electronic handheld digital pet created in 1996 by Aki Maita. These pets were sold internationally in 2007 by Bandai. Over 15 Million of these little pets were sold by 2008. Each Tamagotchi is an egg shaped computer pet. You have 3 buttons, (A, B, C) that allow the user to select and perfom an activity. This includes:

• Playing games with the Tamagotchi to make it gain or lose weigh.
• Feeding the Tamagotchi food or a snack.
• Cleaning up your Tamagotchi's garbage.
• Daily functions include checking the age, discipline, hunger, weight, happiness + more.

Here are some useful Tamagotchi tricks:

Mimitchi - Hatch a pet from a black egg, and feed it nothing but carrots until it turns 6 years old. You will then have a Mimitchi.

Invincible Tamagotchi - If you enter the status window, your pet will never die. Here is what you have to do. If your pet dies, restarting the game and quickly entering the window before it dies again means that, if you exit the window a bit later, your pet is healthy and ready to carry on as normal. Here is another option you have to keep your pet alive forever! You will need a Game Boy adapter. Go to the status window, and leave your Game Boy plugged into the wall for as long as you wish. Then you will have an Invincible Tamagotchi that will never die!
