Tamagotchi (1996 Pet)
From Tamagotchi Wikia
The Original Tamagotchi(タマゴッチ), also known as P1 or P2 depending on the version, was released in 1996 in Japan, and is the first Tamagotchi to be created. It was created by Bandai, the original virtual pet creators. They created the tamagotchi from Japan, USA, and everywhere else.

[edit] Features
The Original Tamagotchi contains most of the features that are still used in modern-day Tamagotchi. These include the ability to feed, play with and discipline the Tamagotchi in order to shape it into an adult character.You can also clean up its messes, connect with other players, praise your tamagotchi, and heal it when s/he is sick.
[edit] Feed
Tamagotchis have to eat, just like every other living thing. Their hunger is shown by the hunger meter in their stats. I usually feed mine when they have less than 3 hearts. Because just like they can die from under feeding, they can also die from overfeeding. A good way to solve this problem is to try and keep your tamagotchi's hearts for hunger at about 3. You can also feed your pet a snack. Snacks will fill up happy hearts. Like earlier, you can't feed your tamagotchi too many snacks or s/he will be overweight. You should probably play games for happy hearts, and only give them snacks when they refuse to play. They will refuse to play when they aren't at least 3 pounds above their base weight. Each stage has a different base weight. You should feed them a snack or 2, and then play a game.
[edit] Light
You should always turn the light off when a tamgotchi is sleeping. It will tell you this by beeping. A tamagotchi will get very annoyed if you leave the light on at night, and s/he will be angry if you decide to turn the light off during the day. So, you should turn it on and off only at times when needed, or else your tamagotchi may grow up to be a bad character. Although, it could spring the secret character. So choose wisely!
[edit] Duck
Your tamagotchi, like humans, will go to the bathroom. It will be shown as a triangular black thingy on your screen. You must clean it up once you see it, or else the tamagotchi might get sick. That could lead to the death of your tamagotchi if you don't treat it in time.
[edit] Game
Games are different in each version. That is also the main difference in P1 and P2. I do know that in P2, you have to guess which way the tamagotchi turns their face. If you're right, they will be happy. If you're wrong, they'll be sad. This is also one of the only games where you win or lose.
[edit] Medicine
When your tamagotchi has the deadly skull icon above their heads, that means your tamagotchi is sick. If you don't care for them in time, then they will die. You treat them by pressing the shot button. It could take 2 or 3 shots to see if their better, but, you know, Tamagotchi, hm?
[edit] Discipline
Sometimes, the tamagotchis will be naughty, not listening, or maybe beeping at you for attention when they don't need anything. If they do that, then you should discipline them. If you don't, they might be mean when they grow up.
[edit] Connect
The original P1/P2 cannot connect. The 'connection' feature wasn't around until the Mesutchi and Osutchi.
