Digital Monster Ver. S Digimon Tamers (デジタルモンスターVer.S デジモンテイマーズ) is a Sega Saturn simulation game based on the Digimon franchise. This was actually the first Digimon video game and plays more like an expanded version of the LCD handheld toys.
In it, you raise a digimon from birth, utilizing many features from the handheld toys such as feeding, praising/scolding, turning the lights on or off during sleep, and specific training for particular stats.
Although the game has no online capability itself, the game and its respective interface simulates a PC in which you can access the Digimon Network. Among the pages included are a News page and an internet forum which features new posts (some including hints or URLs). By obtaining links, you can type in a URL in the address bar to access a location which may allow the user to download an item, for instance. You can also link up with other in-game trainers, or even participate in the main adventure mode which involves battling against the rival hacker group for medals. This, along with it's WonderSwan port, are the only Digimon video games thus far to remain completely faithful to the original toys.
