Oh, I do, and trying to recreate parts of the visuals now when learning to code. It was Apollo Super Pet, I'm still searching for one.
Just like my first one! Even raised a Pochitchi the first time I ran it.This one. And I am still running it today

I had always wanted a Gen1 when they came out. But they were so hard to get hold of when they came out in Europe back in 96/97. But then the Gen2 came out and I got this one
That's a really fun concept, how did it work? Tamas and other virtual pets were controversial in the 90's for disrupting classes, I figured it would be the same now.My first one was actually the class pet!We named it Tammie, although most of us referred to it as 'Bloop'. Hence my username.
You know, I often wonder what the consensus about virtual pets in class is nowadays. I do not let my kids take them to school to be on the safe side (I alter the time to make them stay sleep while at school but wake when they get home). But I imagine it might not be as frowned upon as they were in the past.That's a really fun concept, how did it work?

It also depends on the school as well - my school had Pokemon cards banned! This brings back fond memories of my mom babysitting my Tamas while I was at school. Some of it might be nostalgia with 90's kids being some of the adults of today, but I agree that with them growing up with the franchise they have a better understanding of it than teachers back in the 90's. In terms of modern day distractions I think social media and app games are the bigger concern now, lol.You know, I often wonder what the consensus about virtual pets in class is nowadays.

You have to remember, those teachers back then did not understand the benefits that come with kids and virtual pets. They saw it as a disruptive toy, and nothing else. Teachers today however are those who grew up in the 90s, and have a better grasp on how to deal with virtual pets (they grew up with them afterall). So given that VP teach children about responsibility and diligence, it does not suprise me that a Tamagotchi might be made a class pet in the modern age.
And as far as disruption, the rule would probably be more along the lines of “mute it while in class” than a straight up ban. Most teachers back in the day probably did not even know that was an option.
But this is all just speculation from the outside looking in, based on the fact that the original Tama kids are now the teachers in question.
Wow pokemon cards were banned too?It also depends on the school as well - my school had Pokemon cards banned! This brings back fond memories of my mom babysitting my Tamas while I was at school.

My first tama was the v3 when I was in elementary school. I let my mom take care of it when I was at school because I didn't want to pause it for whatever reason, and she didn't do a good job of taking care of it to say the least.
This is so funny, I ended up doing the exact same thing but my mum did really well with it. Though she would act begrudging but really I think she enjoyed looking after it in the end hahaha! It’s so funny how kids are and what mums put up with. I remember she always said she hated bump but liked the notes and flag games!My first tama was the v3 when I was in elementary school.
