I used to own one.
I received it as a birthday present when I turned 10.
Hmm. I think mine's should be around the house somewhere. If I manage to find it, it should be really cool!

I had one shortly after they came out. I also had a couple of gigapets. I liked the gigapets better. I was also stuck "babysitting" a bunch at an office I used to work in. People's kids would ask them to watch them while they were at school and they would drop them off at my desk when they got into work in the morning and I'd take care of them. Nothing like trying to get work done while taking care of a dozen tamagotchi and gigapets.

How are gigapets different from tamagotchi?
Haha. So much for 'virtual petsitting'.
At least you're having fun while working! :)

Gigapets are a little easier to work with. They're more user friendly. Even with the instructions, the Tomagatchi were difficult to understand. Gigapets were also more familiar animals. As I recall, the Tomagatchi were "alien" creatures. The Gigapets I had were a dog, a cat and a frog. I believe they also had a duck, a bunny and a couple of other animals like that.

I had two of them long time ago when it was very popular here. Later I found they were not so funny and I didn't play it any more. It was quite expensive in the past.

yes, i own the original, and the version 3 and 4, both of which may connect via infrared w/ each other. both are out of batteries though heheh my original is broken :( i dropped it and it still works, but the sound is gone. right now the latest edition is the version 5, but i'm not really inclined to get it.

My sister and brother have their own tamagotchi and I borrowed it once in a while when I was a kid. But right know, we can't find it anymore.
Right now, I have one here at home with infrared. Just recently, I bought it in an anime convention and its on sale but because its on sale the quality is not good. So I can't play with it properly, it keeps on resetting itself. :) Well, I guess I just missed playing with a tamagotchi so I bought it. hahaha. :)

Nope, i never own a Tamaguchi. But I am very much familiar of the toy. I saw a lot of it especially when it is still a hot stuff among kids and kids-alike. Almost all the kids around me and the teens have it. I am amazed how the japanese people invented such a toy with virtual pet to feed and taken cared of.
