 Just make sure you keep it alive this time...

<p>Okay, here&rsquo;s some news to make you feel rather old - it&rsquo;s 20 years since the Tamagotchi hatched into our lives! And you&rsquo;ll be super excited to learn that the Japanese toy company are bringing back everyone's favourite pet of the 90s to celebrate. </p><p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">HOLY &#39;90s! The original <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/tamagotchi?src=hash">#tamagotchi</a> has been released! <a href="https://t.co/4Yit0wJPTZ">https://t.co/4Yit0wJPTZ</a> <a href="https://t.co/7trKEwQZoH">pic.twitter.com/7trKEwQZoH</a></p>&mdash; Scoopla (@Scoopla) <a href="https://twitter.com/Scoopla/status/851956871221186560">April 12, 2017</a></blockquote><br><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p><p>These keychain-size virtual pets gave many children of this era their first experience of what happens when you neglect your responsibilities - certain death. Yes, if you don&rsquo;t feed your baby alien creature candy, clean up its poo and give it some attention, the dreaded skull icon appears. Ignore this at your peril as you&rsquo;ll soon be faced with watching your dearly departed digital baby grow angel wings and fly off to digital heaven *sadly presses A and C button together*. </p><p>Forget your plans to get a puppy as Bandai have relaunched these addictive games and they look very similar to the original. Think low-resolution retro graphics with three buttons. So once again we can miserably fail at trying to rear our computerised alien eggs into adults. </p><p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Not Tryna Cause Mass Panic, but the OG Tamagotchi IS BACK <a href="https://t.co/lo8MBhyaUN">https://t.co/lo8MBhyaUN</a> <a href="https://t.co/qeaA9qJdaj">pic.twitter.com/qeaA9qJdaj</a></p>&mdash; Cosmopolitan (@Cosmopolitan) <a href="https://twitter.com/Cosmopolitan/status/851823353178574849">April 11, 2017</a></blockquote><br><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p><p>The new Tamagotchi is yet to reach UK shores, but you can stock up on plenty of other <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/kids-toys-landing,default,pg.html" target="_blank">retro toys</a> at Asda online or at your <a href="http://storelocator.asda.com/?cmpid=ghs-_-otc-storeloc-_-groceries-dsk-_-globalfooter-_-globalnav&utm_source=groceries-dsk&utm_medium=ghs&utm_term=globalnav&utm_content=globalfooter&utm_campaign=otc-storeloc&#!/" target="_blank">nearest store</a>. </p>
