This is a 23-in-1 multipet made under the HGL name, owned by Ozbozz (now known as One for Fun), which I found notable because of its unusual form factor. It has five buttons–very unusual for any pet, especially an older one–and based on the instructions, its ROM seems to be somewhat unique. Unfortunately, though, I’ve never seen any pictures of the screens on this one, so if you have one, please contact me.

The instructions are visible in the first photo above, but I have transcribed them for ease of use here:
