Here's the information about Tamagotchi from WikiPedia:
The Tamagotchi (たまごっち, Tamagotchi) is a handheld digital
pet created in 1996 by Aki Maita and sold by Bandai. Over 70 million Tamagotchis have been sold as of 2008.[1] The Tamagotchi is housed in a small and simple egg-shaped computer. Three buttons (A, B, and C) allow the user to select and perform an activity, including:Feeding the Tamagotchi a piece of food or a snack.Playing games with the Tamagotchi.Cleaning up a Tamagotchi's waste.Checking its age, discipline, hunger, happiness and other statistics.
According to Bandai the name is a portmanteau combining the Japanese word (tamago) which means "egg", and the English word "watch" (as in timepiece)[2]. Consequently, the name is romanized as "Tamagotch" without the "i" in Japan.
