Giga Pets are digital pet toys that were first released by Tiger Electronics in the United States in 1997 in the midst of a virtual-pet toy fad.[1] Available in a variety of different characters, each Giga Pet is a palm-sized unit with an LCD screen and attached key ring.[2] To ensure a happy, healthy pet, its owner has to take care of it similar to how one might care for a real animal, including feeding, cleaning, and playing with their Giga Pet.
