Too old for Tamagotchi?

[sak]

When the fad hit in 1997, I was a mere 5th grader. I would buy Tama-after-Tama up until 1999. Then, it almost became sort of embarrassing. I mean, mentioning to my fellow 7th and 8th grade peers "I BOUGHT A TAMAGOTCHI OVER THE WEEKEND EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY OWN 5+" frightened them.

Now that I am 17, that embarrassment has gone away somewhat. But in a sense, I still feel ashamed(?).

Should a gal my age (with a job as a hostess, a boyfriend, and LIFE) obsess over Tamagotchis to this day?

That leaves me wondering... How old are all of you? Male or female?

i'm 19 now and I got 2 of those tamagotchi connects under a week ago. When they came out first I had one and when I read in the local paper that they were going to have them again I had to wait a month but I got one. I think for me it was just I remembered having my old tamagotchi's and it brought back alot of sentamental value that's why I got the new ones. My sisters 18 and after playing with mine she went and got her own (the green with boxes). Now I'm in college and I work as a cashier and while I dont carry my tama's every where (during work I leave them in my car) I dont think having them at my age is dumb.

There is no "too old" for Tamagotchis!

Perish the thought.

It's an awesome little 'toy' you care for.

How could any one be too old for that?

Don't let the fact that it's a 'toy' scare you off either. Nobody is TRULY too old for toys!

If you are too old for toys, you might as well curl up in a ball and cease to exist. You'd have to cross over in to the world to fuddy-duddy-ism.

We wouldn't want that now would we?

lol, my obbesion started when i was 13... now i;m 20, going on 21 and it hasn't stopped!!! my parents still get peeved when i come home with 5 or more NEW tama's that i got in the mail or in stores!!!

 

[rosiebell32]

Jappyx,both your tamagotchis must have full hearts and must be at a reasonable weight.eg. If they are normally 20 grams or whatever they must be 20 or 21 grams to mate.you know when they will ecause when you connect the the will dane,the screens will go black and fireworks will appear.on te mothers screen 2 babies will appear,one will go to the dad's screen,and the other will stay on the moter's screen.the parents will do a little dance and voila!Tamababies!

 

[rosiebell32]

sorry about the spelling mistakes Its great that you have 2 tamagotchis. i only have 1! nice that they love each other too!

never too old for a tamagotchi

I'm 18 and only have 1 so I hope my boyfriend gets one too

 

[Syringe.exe]

yeah sometimes I feel too old for them, but I dont care. A highschool senior walking around school with four of them dangling from her keychains!

and imagine the sight of a full grown kid in the middle of a toys-r-us store (wearing a long black trenchcoat I might add ) jumping up and down and squealing at the sight of the new tamagotchis this summer o_o

NEVER TOO OLD, NEVER SAYS I! > XD

My Tama just turned into a Rice Pound Cake... =.=

 

[Faith]

Hmm well I have a house, 2 cars, a career, a hubby, and several tamagotchis!

Oh did I mention I'm turning 30 on Tuesday?

I had 2 Gen 1 tamagotchis (from 1997), one Tamagotchi Angel, I have 2 connections, and an Angelgotchi on the way (thank you Ebay).

So no, I definitely don't think there's an age limit! I only have one going now, one of my new connections, because with work it's hard to take care of multiple tamagotchis, but on my holidays and such I get them all going.

 

[MarissaOfB3K]

I'm 18 and I love my tamagotchi! You can never be too old, in fact it looks like most people here are adults anyway. =)

 

[Koremi]

fuddy-duddy-ism.

That is the best word I have heard this week.

Anyway, most of my friends think I'm nuts. I do not care. Usually, being...erm...assertive, I force them to buy some as well!

Heh, heh. My boyfriend's 23 and promises with his upcoming paycheck, he'll but a connection as well.
