Fish Life[1]is a virtual aquarium developed by Sega.
Fish Life is a simulation of a fish tank witih an added touch screen, allowing users to interact with virtual fish. Users can call the fishes (fishes will react to users voice causing a number of reactions on the fishes like happiness, anger, sadness) , feed the fishes and watch them grow, draw in the screen (users can draw a fish and watch it being followed by the other fishes while moving it), when users touch a fish his name and species will appear and its even possible to make music with a virtual piano. While designed to be placed in an arcade environment, it is not an arcade game, instead being designed as "interior decor" or "healing art"[2]. Fish Life is free to play but has no goals and never "ends", instead acting more of a distraction. It does not accept currency and loops endlessly to relieve boredom.
Fish Life was only ever produced in small quantities in Japan in around 2000, and may not have even passed its location test.
