Before the arrival of the hyperdigital era or the maelstrom of social networks, there was a portable pocket device that marked the childhood and adolescence of the children of the 90s. And that was the Tamagotchi.
Now, with nostalgia at the height of popular culture and the endless celebration of the 25th anniversary of The Sopranos, the independent toy manufacturer DebonairHeads has created this new game inspired by the most famous gangster in the film world.
It’s a kind of digital pet that you have to feed, keep happy and make sure it meets its essential needs. In this case, being ‘Tonygotchi’, the rules of the game change: you can dine with his family, feed him, visit the strip club, and even assassinate a member of the rival mafia. And, of course, because of all the traumas and dysfunctional life situation of the protagonist, you see a therapist to deal with issues such as his panic attacks.
As expected, this nostalgic recreation of DebonairHeads went on sale for $759, and is already sold out. We’ll just have to scour the depths of the internet and its resellers to get our hands on it for some exorbitant price.
