My first vintage tamagotchi was a yellow vines Morino. It was not only my first vintage, but also my very first Tamagotchi ^_^ I got it 5 or 6 years ago from Jason's store, and I've still got it
Blue p2 with black around the screen, and yellow buttons. Bought a clear blue p1 a week later, also with yellow buttons. Both bought at the same TRU store in 1997.
My first vintage that I bought myself was a Morino that I bought 5 years ago, although my first vintage I had was passed down from my Mum to my Aunt, and then to me. It's a yellow P2 (Orange) Japanese version
My first was an orange P1 when they came out when I was five. Got it at a Christmas party, had it for a few years, then traded it when I was ten and didn't think I'd pick it up again. I'd just like to travel back in time, shake myself, and force my younger self to keep it.
The fuschia P1 with yellow trim around the screen. A rather eye-burning colour combination, which is why I loved it. It still works despite quite a lot of abuse at the hands of 5-year-old me.
My friend had the tiger-stripe design, and I was SO jealous. I was kinda obsessed with tigers in primary school, so...
