Tamogatchis were the shit at my school in like grade 4! We walked around with them on string around our necks and connected and shiz. And neopets, I'd wait at that tree to try and grab stuff haha.
It's sad I played meecra chase before snake haha. And yeah, I played a lot when I was younger. This is from another thread but it's worth mentioning http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Eheath
I used to play bumper cars and make tonnes of neo dollars. My pets were filthy rich. Then i thought it was lame and started to starve them and hurt them. They were sad, it made me cry and i quit. Ahhhhh being 8 years old!
