Giga Pets - StarCat/CompuKitty

Ma fille est ravie mais les piles sur que quelques jours dommage

Como el que tuve de pequeña. Exactamente igual

I first stumbled on Giga Pets rereleases at a Target, but passed them up as the AR aspect of older releases didn't interest me. I had the Lost World T-Rex as a kid, and it's the virtual pet I most remember from my childhood. Wish I had sprung for the rereleases earlier, as I finally went for these new Collector's Editions with some improvements from the AR releases (got all 3 versions), and I think they're my favorite virtual pet rerelease yet between the ones I've tried. I don't want to go too in depth on where other virtual pet rereleases have had their issues for me, as it varies pet to pet, and despite issues, I still overall have enjoyed all the rereleases I've tried. I don't want to discourage anyone from trying out various virtual pet rereleases and finding their favorites. The Giga Pet rereleases, which I've been running for 4 days now at time of writing (2 of them work days), are my favorites so far and one reason is they fit my lifestyle best. I often cannot check on virtual pets for hours on end at work (especially in the morning). These Giga Pets have so far been robust enough to last for a long time without absolutely requiring care. Sure, their stats drop considerably by the time I can check on them at lunch, but they're not sick or dead. Additionally, I still have the option to force them to sleep for a few hours to slow down the stat drop rate. But if I forget to do that, I'll still probably have an alive and reasonably healthy pet a few hours later, just one needing attention. Each Collector's Edition pet also has a variety of games you can play to raise happiness, which helps keep up variety. None are too terribly difficult, but it's nice to switch it up (though for the "jump the hurdles" game with the Unicorn, I wish the Unicorn was on one side of the screen instead of the middle, to give a little more lead time to jump). Additionally, many actions affect multiple stats, instead of each action only affecting one (for example, tricks can raise discipline and happiness, as long as you reward your pet afterwards). Feeding a meal affects hunger the most, but also health and happiness. Also, the animations. See the video to see some of the animations each pet goes through when you're not interacting with it. Every action also has some cute animations, and some animations can even communicate needs (the dog starts scratching itself when it needs a bath, for example). The animations give each pet a lot of life and personality. There's also a battery save idling image when you don't interact with your pet for a time, and a low battery warning. Battery case is easy to remove, you only need a small Phillips head screwdriver and a fresh CR2032 battery. It seems they have enough memory to allow a battery swap without losing progress, as I briefly disconnected a battery in one of mine and it picked up right where it left off when I reconnected it. Overall I have very few complaints about these so far. What small complaints I do have (like one of the Unicorn games) are far outweighed by what I've enjoyed. I haven't had any issues with any color or shell decorations rubbing off, but I do carry each pet in a small headphone case to and from work. The biggest complaint is that two of mine arrived with small screen scratches, but a bit of Displex fixed those and they look like new. I have to tilt the screens in a very specific way to even see where they were. For the MSRP price of 15.99 USD, these are a worthwhile purchase for anyone who's curious about them. Final note: In my pictures and video, I want to point out that I swapped the factory keychain out for ones I took off spare Digimon 20th anniversary devices.

Got these for a very long car summer road trip. They sucked when I was a kid because you'd go to school and they'd die, but absolutely perfect for an "I'm boooorrrred" moment. Better see if your pet needs a snack or a bath! The battery life is not great, so we also took along a pack of those.

1. Turn of the sound, the speaker is huge and requires lots of current. 2. Tighten (gently) the cover for the batter, if you tap of slam the unit just hard enough the battery will lose contact and give low batt screen. 3. Put the creature to sleep every time you are done playing, this lets the battery pick its voltage back up (not capacity just voltage) for your next play. I used to get low batt screens after two weeks of NOT doing the above, but on the SAME STOCK battery im still going strong... my creature is 58 years old (59 days of active use). This is a nice product, fun cute and neat little game. instructions really tell you all the mechanics of the game, highly recommend understanding that.
