The original Tama Town was created for the Version 3 Tamagotchi. When an item is received, a 10-digit password appears, and one enters it into the Tamagotchi. The Tamagotchi online worlds have been expanded 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 ones 'Tama-Go' characters was also available.
