''Tamagotchi'' (''Game de Hakken!! Tamagotchi''[[labelnote:note]]literally "Found in the Game!! Tamagotchi"[[/labelnote]] in Japan) is a 1997 [[VirtualPet virtual pet]] game released for the UsefulNotes/GameBoy. An adaptation of the original Toys/{{Tamagotchi}} virtual pet toys, the game is closely modeled after the gameplay of the physical toys, with the player raising a Tamagotchi from an egg to an adult while feeding it, playing games with it, giving it discipline, healing it when it is sick, and attending to its bathroom needs. The Game Boy game features all of the characters from both the P1 and P2 generations of the Tamagotchi toys, and Tamagotchis can freely evolve from characters of one generation into another.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: It's entirely possible to kill your Tamagotchis early by overfeeding them with snacks or neglecting them; even the ''baby'' stage can die from too many snacks.
