I can't really remember, but I think my oldest one lasted for 16 days? That was pretty darn good considering I had school to attend to and all. I remember muting the sound and when I got let out for recess, my poor little tamagotchi had poop all over the screen and was starving. T^T I AM A TERRIBLE MOTHER.

I actually still have one, but the batteries are long dead. Maybe I'll get some and start it up again for nostalgia's sake.
Oh no when I was younger I loved the virtual pet thing I had. It was some dinosaur like thing...can't really remember. Longest it lasted for me was over summer. It was around a 34 day age (I seriously can't remember exactly how long. All I know is it was around a month long). It died after a single hour that day after it had just matured more. It was right before I went into a party to roller skate. So I remember I gave it to my mom and told her to let me know if it made a beeping sound. Later after I was tired of skating I asked her to let me see it and it died. Yeah I remember that it upset me that day. Never got the urge to ever go back after that lol.

16 days is pretty good, I don't think I got mine to last even nearly as long. As for the old, purple one I used to own, I have no clue what happened to it, but the batteries in it are definitely long-dead. I haven't seen it in years, and I'm not sure if I just tossed it and it's been rotting in a landfill somewhere or if it's buried deep in the recesses of old stuff I have. :P

But if you do start one up again for nostalgia's sake, have fun... and good luck. XD
Yeah when I got really invested into something growing up. It REALLY sunk in, especially if it was video game or cartoon related. If I lost, it made me feel upset and I forced myself to get better (if only I could've used that motivation for my school work xD). I don't think I'll ever go back to one of those devices again. The last one I tried was one of those Digimon device things. It broke after I found a cheap way of making steps by just shaking it to progress. It sure made it easier than walking around, stopping and doing the event (battle or w/e), then walking more and repeating.
