Tamagotchi CD-ROM was released in Japan for Pippin and Macintosh by Bandai Digital Entertainment on August 8, 1997.[6] A floppy disk was included with the original Japanese version CD-ROM.[7] The Windows 95 version was released separately in Japan and the United States in August and September 1997, respectively.[3][8]
