Essence of Tamagotchi Town
Tamagotchi is a digital machine that was created by Aki Maita in 1996 and was distributed by Bandai. The machine is made in the shape of an egg and a computer program is inserted into the device. There are three buttons A, B and C, which helps the users in performing and selecting activity. This includes feeding some snack, playing with Tamagotchi, cleaning the waste produced by Tamagotchi, checking the age hunger, discipline, happiness, weight, other statistics and connecting to a computer. There are several versions of the Tamagotchi like V1, V2, V3, V4 and V4.5. The term Tamagotchi comes from a combination of a Japanese word “Tamago†which means egg and English word “Watchâ€. Thus the word is Romanized as Tamagotch without “I†in Japanese.
