Do you remember your first tama?

I definitely remember my first tama!
I am in my thirties right now..and got my first tama when i was just about 5 or so..maybe younger.
I am pretty sure that it wasn't actually a legit Tamagotchi haha i think it was a knock off but regardless i fell in love!
It was a little white one looking like a cracked egg and the tama on it was a little dinosaur. i actually managed to grow and treat him pretty well..until one day it started glitching, i believe it's software got corrupted somehow..it was very very sad for me. but i did keep it in the hopes that my dad could fix it someday...and when i was about 25 my father has passed away and i got rid of it since it made me too sad.
regardless! I had some great childhood memories playing with it. and I do have 2 legit tamas right now

My first tamagotchi was a Connection V2, specifically the tropical pink w/ flowers one!! I loved it a lot but I was dumb so when it ran out of battery I ended up throwing it into the trash.... I bitterly regret that now, and didn't do it after that thankfully, but I've since bought a new one so I'm happy to say I have my original tama back again!!

(Not my photo, but it was this shell style/color!)

I wanted one so badly as a kid! But my mom must have heard the horror stories from other parents. I ended up buying a digimon vpet as an adult, after feeling disillusioned with Neopets and its direction. I had some fun with it for a time, got a couple more of those, but they didn't ever scratch the itch quite as long as I wanted. I picked up a Hello Kitty nano, it was cute and felt better, but not quite there- then spurged and got an ON, which absolutely hooked me for months!

My first one is a V2 with a pink shell and lipstick on it. I think I got it when I was 8 so it must have been around 2004. I'm pretty sure when I was a teenager I tried to "decorate it" by painting the shell with nail polish. I really regret any of the tamas I did it to, since I'm quite nostalgic for all of the shells.
