The original Tama Town was created for the Version 3 Tamagotchi. When you receive an item, a 10-digit password appears, and you enter it into the Tamagotchi. They have expanded the Tamagotchi online worlds to most all versions (except v1 and v2), the music star is the most popular virtual world called 'Music City', players were able to register their character from your 'Music Star Tamagotchi' and play games and talk. The ability to login as your 'Tama-Go' characters was also available.
