I've lost the battery cover for this and the hittoriku dog you see in the background, unfortunately. I'd love to get them running again.

This one was one of my favourites. It was a dog, and it had a rubber 3D dalmation on the shell that I ripped off because it was ugly. I bought it from San Francisco Store in 1998 or 1999 I think. One time, I beat it with a shoe (don't ask, I had emotional problems hah) and when it restarted it had a dinosaur sprite, so I am wondering if there's a dinosaur version of this as well. It also came in white, blue and green I think, all of which were that transparent shell.

Edit: I realize the title says "these photos" instead of "this photo"... Oops.

The thing that was weird, though, is that the only time I was able to access the dinosaur is when I hit it really hard. I feel like the shock from being hit made something malfunction and it accessed coding it shouldn't have normally been able to access... or something... idk. I don't see it on there, but when it had the rubber puppy head it looked -almost- like the pocket puppy.

Before I pulled the puppy off, it looked vaguely like this:

Okay, so, I got it to work, briefly. I don't have a battery cover for it, so first I tried holding a dime against the batteries to create a circuit, which just made terrifying noises. Then I used my Nano Fighter's battery back, which sort of worked except I couldn't keep it in place. Anyway, I managed to get a few pictures:

1. Startup glitch.

2. The puppy that walks across the screen. That's the one that was once a dinosaur.

3. The "egg".

4. The hatchling
5. As soon as I touched it, it glitched out at me and turned into this unhappy little guy.

I'm going to try to find a battery cover that fits.

Also, the image where I drew the rubber puppy onto the shell -- please keep in mind that it's a rough touchpad drawing of a memory of something I saw 16+ years ago. :p

So this thing is crazy glitched. Sometimes I am able to bypass the birth/baby stage and access a game with glitched time and an adult sprite. I was also able to get the dragon to walk across the stage instead of the dog! Then, I was able to play with it. Then the craziest thing happened and I saw a screen where the dragon and dog were facing each other. So many weird things have happened tonight.

I took a five minute video which I will probably post tomorrow.

I really need to know what this is now. I'm having fun with all these glitches, but I want to be able to play it too.
