I've had Tamas ever since the first one came out. But I find the new V5 very boring. There isn't any challenge to taking care of the thing. You don't discipline, or find a job for it or anything that the others had. I am still playing with V4.5(which I think is my favorite so far). I do have the 5 going but I just check every so often to make sure the food is up but it is just boring. I hope that the next version goes back to the play of the other versions or I may be done with them.
