Barcode Battler!!

[Atari-Jess]

Yes, that one toy that DARED compete the gameboy back in 91'-92' is finally mine!

 

The thing is bloody awesome and I can easilly

see how these barcode games became so popular

in japan.

 

the UK version had a better story and characters

though you buggers.

 

Whats funny is that a Jurassic Park III game

using barcodes as dinosaurs is coming out soon.

Im gonna get that too hopefully.

 

Im looking for some more info about it though

like what is that port on the side do?

power plug? headphone jack? ima not touchin it

till i knows what it is.

for those not in the know

barcode battler

was a barcode reader toy

that turned barcodes into a turn based

numerical RPG game. with spells and items.

 

(just found a barcode that gives 2700 defence) its sweet.

I always found that, instead of cutting out the barcodes on cereal packets, it was always more fun to battle with the actual full boxes - they hurt more that way
