Hands up those among you who remember the Tamagotchi craze. Heh. I do. As a matter of fact, I had several. Those things were just too cute! Then again, I got bored of them rather quickly and left them to er…. expire. So, it was with some trepidation that I clicked on the link for Tamaboy.
Tamaboy has the same basic premise as a Tamagotchi, except for the fact that it’s online. It’s not really what you’d call a faithful porting of the Tamagotchi, although it stays true to the concept. There are three things you can do with your Tamaboy: feed him, talk with him, and let him relax. And… that’s pretty much it. I guess he’s a low-maintenance guy.
It’s definitely not as involved as Neopets. The site itself suggests that you visit your Tamaboy once a day; I think I can handle that. :kawaii: That, and you’ll get reminder emails if you abandon your Tamaboy…
