Tamagotchi Original P1/P2 Purple w/ pink Bandai 1997 Japan

The first version of the tamagotchi is the precursor of virtual pets developed by Bandai.
Released during the years 1996 and 1997, millions of copies were sold worldwide despite its basic operation and those three little buttons.
Now delisted, it remains sought by collectors and nostalgics.
The first version of the Tamagotchi can be divided into two generation : P1 and P2. P1 was the first to be placed on the market, and because of its success Bandai launched the P2. The differences between the two are small, besides a different design and a different birth / death screen.
