Like Tamagotchi Nano with Pacman Theme

I have many normal Tamagotchis and several Nano Tamagotchis. The Nano (Mini) is much easier to maintain. I wasn't sure if it was going to be a regular or a mini, and it's the same size as the Nano, although the outer case is more rounded and egg-shaped. I have a black one with a rubber Pacman stand that you can stick a Tamagotchi in and it will look like a desktop display, but I actually preferred not to leave it there. It's a little hard to push it out once you put it in there. I think you can get them without the Pacman rubber stand, but while I don't use it that much I'm still glad I got it with this little accessory. All you have to do is feed them food and snacks (cherries, of course!) and play a few simple games and chase away the ghosts when they appear. As far as I can tell, the Tamagotchi characters you can get are the same 7 types as before, plus one mystery character. Mine died before I got far enough to get the mystery character, so I don't know yet if it's related to Pacman or not. There are 2 Pacman-style games you can play to increase Tama's happiness level, one of which has you taking vitamin pills and simply going up, middle or down to avoid the ghosts approaching you. It's pretty easy and I think you get a point for a successful run. In the other game you have to turn left, up or right to collide with things coming your way including ghosts (otherwise they will get you) and you have to be a bit faster to achieve this and you get 2 points for it . There is no other way to check if your Tam is fed or happy other than by pressing the C key. In this case, he'll either come closer and chirp happily, or turn away, meaning he needs food, snacks, or play. The funny thing is that this feature is gone and replaced with ghosts instead of poop. When you see a ghost, press the A button and Pac-Man will come over and sweep it away. They can turn into multiple ghosts like feces do, so you'll want to keep an eye on them and get rid of them as soon as possible. At night he falls asleep and you have to turn off the light. That's all! The more observant you are, the better Tama will become and the longer she will live. I was pleased that the Pacman theme was actually part of the electronics and not just printed on the outside of the case. This gives the Tamagotchi a new look and makes the game interesting again. Hopefully when I start the next one I can unlock the mystery character!

Pros
  • PAC-MAN ghosts will haunt your Tamagotchi character, so get ready to call PAC-MAN for help! When errors appear on screen, call PAC-MAN to rescue your Tamagotchi before it's too late!
Cons
  • Fade
