Like I said, I don't think he has Weapon Copy in those games.

LCD were at its best with the Tamagotchi and Giga Pet fads. They also subsequently killed LCD handheld gaming.

1. Wrong
2. Possible

Virtual pets were an interesting swan song for LCD games, but that tech sure as heck wasn't going to be sticking around much longer no matter what came out for it.

Wait, come to think of it, I bought a bonafide LCD game not too long ago: this

LCD 4 Ever

I still think some of the better LCD games to come out were in the Game & Watch line. Games like Climber and Super Mario Bros. were incredibly in depth for a tiny little LCD game.

I don't care what people say, in 1998 Virtual Pets kicked rear and were all over the place.

Nano's, Tamagotchi, Digimon (they originated in America as Virtual Pets), Giga Pets, everyone had one. I had a Frog.

I thought they started in Japan as a Japanese anime cartoon.

12 seconds of research reveals that they were created in Japan with the idea of "Tamagotchi for boys" and made by the same company, Bandai.

Tamagotchis weren't for boys? I feel emasculated now.

I had one, and I think by the time the second one died I hated the concept so bad I never looked at it again.

I had a Digimon, the Jurassic Park one, and a street brawler (real name is escaping me) ones that could connect together to "battle". I probably played with them all a total of a week before not playing with them anymore. It very quickly turned into a chore instead of a game. Almost like having a real pet!

I had a digimon and a tamagotchi. The digimon was fun to train and evolve and bring it to recess at school. I would find someone else with a digimon, hook them up to initiate battle, and then run across the playground and watch the fight.

I remember our neighbors had stolen one of my siblings' tamagotchis at some point. When we tried to get it back, the kid had a Reese's or something, and he goes "I ate your tamagotchi!" and showed us the Reese's in his mouth. I believed it so hard that as I remembered that story just now, I still felt a tiny twang that he really ate the tamagotchi.
