Tamagotchi CD-ROM
Tamagotchi CD-ROM is the PC version of the virtual pet Tamagotchi developed by 7th Level and published by Bandai Digital Entertainment, released in 1998 for Microsoft's Windows 95.
Plot
The game begins by showing Maskutchi and Zuccitchi heading to planet Earth on a UFO. After voicing their opinions on the planet ("It looks very 'wet'," says Maskutchi), they argue over whose turn it is to clean the cabin (a large poop can be seen), which quickly escalates into insults and violence. They stop fighting when they realize nobody is piloting their ship, and it begins to fall to Earth at a drastic speed.
They are able to stop the ship just in time, floating over a tropical island. They drop an egg to the land to explore for them, and promise they'll be back later to "pick the egg up."[1]
Functions
Much of the Tamagotchi CD-ROM resembles the Classic Tamagotchi, with updated graphics and interface (for example, the Hungry meter in the Health menu is represented by bread instead of hearts). Characters are fully illustrated in their Bandai America style, and include voices and music during two of the three games. In addition, the options menu allows the user to input their name, name their Tamagotchi, and change the background. Available backgrounds include a city, a beach, a house, a field, and so forth.[1]
Games
Left or Right
The classic game from the original Tamagotchi. The user clicks an on-screen arrow or presses an arrow key on the keyboard to guess which direction their pet will look.
Shell Game
The character hides under an egg shell, and it is shuffled around with two other shells. The user must guess which of the three shells the character is hiding under. The game goes on for 6 rounds, and due to the low odds of winning, only 2 successful rounds are required to win.
Gotchi Ball
The Tamagotchi gets into a small spaceship and clears meteors (green) and alien eggs from the screen. As the levels progress, the ball will gradually speed up and targets may require to be hit 2 or 3 times, and as the character ages, their spaceship becomes smaller. The game is very similar to the classic game Breakout.
Differences
- Although heavily based on the Classic Tamagotchi, there are differences that exist between the two. One of these is that Zuccitchi and Pochitchi have their position swapped, meaning only Pochitchi can evolve into Zatchi.
- Kuchitamatchi and Hashitamatchi can only evolve into Nyorotchi or Tarakotchi and Kusatchi or Takotchi respectively.
