Anyway, it was fun (for about a month), and then the Tamagotchi fad went the way of the Troll; like all refuse, into the furnace. Sometime after the fad died, they made a video game. (Very impecable ............. .................. ................. ................. .................
timing.)
Even though I liked the Tamagotchi, the video game is another matter*; cruddy. It's a replication with a few 'improvements'.
*For example, Pokemon game was alrite, but Pokemon show was an evil marketing ploy.
Problems with game: -You can turn 'er off at anytime, freezing progress! That's no good; you're supposed to be on call 24/7 for a Tamagotchi, not whenever you personally have the time to sit down and deal with it. Unfair this save feaature.
-The music is grinding my gears...
