This hidden Tamagotchi feature that we never knew about changes everything

If you didn't have a Tamagotchi in the 90's, then you weren't a true 80's/90's kid.

Schoolyards were full of kids obsessing over their virtual pets and now we get to relive our childhood as they are coming back!

BUT this time around, we will know about a feature the Tamagotchi had that we were completely unaware of: you could PAUSE your Tamagotchi!

Too many times were we scarred when our pet had died whilst we were stuck in class, alas we never knew we could save them, simply by leaving them in the clock setting mode.

Somewhere in my house in a box there is a Tamagotchi that has been on pause for so many years still waiting to get fed

The new 2017 versions of the classic toy will feature six different pets and will only be available for a very limited time in various toy shops - just this time don't forget to pause it!
