Tamagotchi virtual pets were introduced in 1996 by Aki Maita. They were shaped like small plastic eggs, with LED screens. Players could select actions by the use of small plastic buttons.
- The virtual pet would appear on the LED screen, and could be fed, disciplined, bathed, or played with.
- If the player balanced the actions, the Tamagotchi would evolve.
- If the player neglected the Tamagotchi, then it would fall ill, die, or leave.
- The aim was to fully evolve the creature so that it would "return to its own planet".
