virtual pets - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mossopp · 05-20-2002, 04:47 PM

I dunno what the hell I'm doing wrong but I am just hopeless at looking after my virtual pets.
I'm trying to raise a chao - I called him 'Furling' - in 'Sonic Advance' on my Gameboy Advance but he's refusing to grow. I spent 1000 gold rings on a wee trumpet for him to play with cos I thought it'd make him happy.........but it didn't! He's still at the 'child' stage and he hatched absolutely ages ago!
I also play a game called 'Creatures' on my Gameboy, in which you have to breed and train these little Gizmo-type creatures called Norns. You begin the game with 2 Norns and you have to breed 8 more before you can move onto the next level. I just can't do it though! I've only got 5 Norns and the moment and they're already running riot - I can't control 'em!!!!
I can't look after 'em properly either. My youngest Norn, Penelope, died earlier this evening. I think it was my fault cos I made her eat some wierd fruit. Sorry Penelope

Still, a new Norn that I named Jack was born today so maybe he'll live a bit longer.

Does anyone else play these kinds of games, where you have to raise virtual pets? Isn't 'The Sims' a bit like that, but with people instead of animals? I've never played 'The Sims'.

Well, it isn't a game, but it's a site...Neopets.

IMO, Neopets are really confusing, and they usually end up hating me because I don't feed them. So......I gave up on them

I know exactly how you feel Mossopp. When I was in 8th grade (long time ago) I had to have a Giga pet. (Anyone remember these?) So i went to my store and bought onbe and it was a dog. I fed him, I played with him, and i even cleaned up his droppings. I was a happy child, but then tragedy struck. It was Monday anbd Giga pets were not allowed at my school. Well I was feeling good intil I can home to see my puppy on a low level of life, he had like 3 not cleaned up droppings, and he didn't do anything. Later that night he died. Its tough. You need to be a really strong person who has a lots of time on their hands to keep those things going. I tried keeping new puppies for a long time, but the longest one lived only a week. I think I've said enough. I need to have a good cry.

Ok, I'm better.

Can you still get Tamagotchi's?
You can't buy them here anymore cos nobody wants 'em now. They're not in style anymore.
I never had a Tamagotchi but I always wanted one. I didn't like the ones that looked like wee animals though - I prefered the ones that were just blobs with eyes!
