some light on a first edition tamagotchi?

Post by Perry »

I was wondering if a front or back light could be put in a first gen tamagotchi...that is the 1996-97 one...i just found one in my closet and even though im a grown man, im playing it (im not sure if playing is the right term..more like taking care of a bunch of pixels) out of nostalgy. But when it's dark at night i can't see anything...so would that be possible?

Should be. It would be a matter of fitting an LED to the edge of the LCD, without breaking the LCD.

Take pictures.

Don't do it! That thing will probably be worth a lot in a couple of years, if it is untouched and in good condition..

^ . .^ Hey, hey. Noobs aren't that bad.
Bertrand Russell wrote:Science tells us what we can know but what we can know is little and if we forget how much we cannot know we become insensitive of many things of very great importance. Theology, on the other hand induces a dogmatic belief that we have knowledge where in fact we have ignorance and by doing so generates a kind of impertinent insolence towards the universe. Uncertainty in the presence of vivid hopes and fears is painful, but must be endured if we wish to live without the support of comforting fairy tales.
^- - ^ Okay; I am taking this quote out of context- but it still works if you substitute modding for the study of theology.
