Good Points

The main good point, and this is probably what matters most, is that my daughter really liked it and had a week of fun and excitement fostering her "pet". I thihk that the level at which the creature grows is quite well chosen - not too fast to make it too easy and not too slow to make the child loose interest.


Bad Points

I still can't help feeling that the whole thing is a bit of a rip-off. The cuddly toy is one of the sort that you get at a fun fair for angling a plastic fish from a tub of water - can't cost more than 50p to make and looked nothing like on the promotional pictures. As for the video games - well, again I have to say that my daughter found it quite exciting and that's really what matters but I think that even 20 years ago, this wouldn't exactly have been cutting edge. Worst thing was that on finishing the game, the tube didn't pop up nicely but I had to fiddle around with a knife to open it, which took quite a bit off shine off the excitement.


General Comments

"My Meebas", consists of a tube with a tiny video game attached in which you need to "nurture" a creature through different stages (a bit like a tadpole turning into a frog) by playing a few simple video games and feeding / petting / cleaning the creature. At the end, the tube opens to release a small cuddly toy (you can still continue to play the games if you manage to hit the right buttons).
