The Digital Monster is a digital pet created by WiZ and Bandai that spawned the Digimon franchise. It was released by Bandai on June 26, 1997 in Japan and on December 5, 1997 in North America. This pet was a masculine counterpart to the Tamagotchi, which was deemed more appropriate for girls. It was similar to earlier virtual pets with the distinctions of being a fighting pet that could connect with others like it.

oh FUCK yeah
The best virtual pet
I had the bluish-gray one. My sister had the yellow one. We made them fight. Mine beat hers (can't remember if you could kill other Digimon or not) and she got so upset that she never let me connect mine to hers ever again.
But seriously, in the late 90s it was INCREDIBLE to be able to plug two tiny devices into each other and fight your little monsters. We didn't get ours until they were steeply discounted in a post-Pokemon world, so we pretended that these were a new kind of Pokemon since we were way too poor for a Game Boy.
