Lol I always wanted to have one of these as a kid after reading about it in a newspaper. But I thought it was a fightgame like streetfighter, not just a battle between some random digits.
Would be awesome if it worked with ANY barcode. Imagine finally putting Coke and Pepsi up against each other to end the cola wars once and for all. Pitting the various mascots of Kelloggs and General Mills against each other. It seems like the entire marketing might of corporate America could be at your will with this device.
The American version was Skannerz Radica Barcode Scanners Game and you could actually scan barcodes with the device with out having to cut them off and put them on a card
They remade this as Skannerz in the late nineties. It was actually fun, as they made the different models produce different monsters. Might check that out.
while small amounts of Pokemon subject gas are still in the air, I remember a kid who went on a trip to japan and brought back a copy of Pokemon green
Anyone with an iPhone/iPod-Touch/iPad will be aware that there is no shortage of "Bar-code reader" apps spread across the app-store, and I have to say, I would like to see a renovation. Devs should take this concept (No doubt, a great one/possibly the greatest eye-catcher on telly.) and integrate it into an App, add better functionality, a few more features, a more sophisticated art-style for the various Monsters, but overall.. Keep the appeal of the original 90's Toy ('faux' LCD Screen.)
@sonikku1471 I've been doing some research, and yes they were alot more popular in Japan but I think that's also due to the developers adding so many capabilities with it. For example, the 2nd Barode Battler had the capability of hooking up to a Super Famicom, or Gameboy. Also, the art-direction for the cards was alot more sophisticated, kinda similar to SD-Gundam. Interestingly, Nintendo and other gaming companies actually made sets for the Barcode Battler, from Legend Of Zelda to Super Mario.
@sonikku1471 (part 2) But I feel if this were to be implemented into an App, it'd have to use a faux LCD Screen. I don't think making it all sophisticated and realistic is the key.. Adding features, perhaps, but, keeping the appeal of the original is just a total nostalgic rush for any teenager who had been around during the craze of LCD Games such as Tamagotchi's, Digivices, and this. But damn, I don't imagine it'd be that hard to do. Trying to find somewhere to suggest it, no luck so far.
Okay...I'm at 3:00 and you've already said "right" or "or something" six times already. I'm drunk already (watching your videos while drinking is a bit of a thing with me) and I've spent 12 minutes watching this video already. How? Because I keep missing when you say "right" or "or something" and I have to go back and check to make sure that I didn't miss any...My God, this 'drinking game' would kill an unexperienced drinker.
I loved that when I was little. You could take the blank cards and draw your own characters and battle them. KandyKane was one of my favourites. And some kind of robot I remember....
I remember when I was 7 I got something like this from poundland and oddly enougth it was much better you didn't need them area you just scanned a tin of beans andoff you went well that's what I thought would happen what genuinely happened in the shop i scanned everything it froze I yelled lobbed it down the isle where quitedramatically it knocked over a pyramid of beans. The owners were not that impressed so I kinda legged itfrom the scene :P
Nice review... I disagree with you, I find this game almost as fun as any real RPG, because no matter how story is well developed, the gameplay of an RPG is alway the same... And it's this. Nothing more.
But still, a very enjoyable review, and you get almost everything right without instructions!
4:41 Alright! It's epic battle time! I will crush this Evil Barbarian with my Power Sword and save my village from his tyranny once and for all! The power of Good will always prevail over evil!!!
So basically, for a game that's just as fun, each player grabs some dice (not necessarily equal) and rolls them in turn, adding a number of points to their score equal to the combined result on the dice. First player to reach 100 wins. Sounds like an amazing game, doesn't it?
@GOTMILK36 o. If you watch the numbers, Ashens attack goes higher when he puts the sword in, and Barbirian's life went higher when he put in the crystals. :p
Bloody hell, I remember a friend of mine getting one of these for his birthday. I remember we spent most of the party trying to get the bloody thing to work! Needless to say, it got abandoned very quickly in favour of his Amiga.
this is the best game ive seen i mean the idea is so AWESOME they need a remake that has the people show up on the screen and that the screen is much biger and the features were a litttle fixed this could be worth more than 29$
Shit review. This person fails to comprehend that this came out in 1991, not 2011. this brings back memories. I was about 7/8 when I got my hands on this. Me and my brother spent ages rumaging through the kitchen cutting up everything that had a barcode on it, good times. True it was simple, true it was a battery eating whore, but in 1991, and the tender age of 8, what else matters. At that age those cards were all I needed to send my imagination into over-drive.
I had something like this, but it looks a lot different, it was shaped like an oval sort off, but it was a very strange oval, with dips that made it not oval....if that makes sense and you scanned to get aliens, when you scanned something, a heartbeat monitor cam up, and if you scanned something without a monster, it was a dead line
I was once trapped in a lift with a guy who was old, and practically a corpse, and it's not really all that fun. Then again, the lift was not on fire, so maybe it's that...
This is a classic example of something that's far more fun in theory than in practice! the adverts were very misleading, made it look fun to play! they must have been mad thinking this would succeed in the west, I bought one for a couple of pounds and it was virtually mint condition!
Have you heard of "Skannerz", the fatally misspelled toy by Radica? It is a concept exactly the same as this one, but the actual diode is facing upward, so you don't have to rip off the bar-codes.
@ssbmfan4 OH MY GOD!! dude i dont care what anyone says. i LOVED those. i had the monster one and the racing one. my parents were against video games, but they thought this was cool. it was SO FUNNN. i had a blast going around scanning everything i saw in stores. it sucked compared to gba's and such, but it was still fun to me.
There was a later game in America that used this same idea, but was actually not too bad. It has a REAL barcode scanner like in the supermarkets built into the top. I scanned every single item of food in my house and the local convenience store and i kept getting the same few monsters over and over. Game was still pretty shit though. But at least it had graphics, as pixely and vague as they were.
@JGRoblox23 i can guarentee ive played more games in my lifetime than you, it was a joke, since tf2 is the most recent game ive played and when he said medic that sort of clicked in my head with the relation to tf2... why are you so mad are you in love with ashens or something?
"... Wolverine's retarded brother or something ..."
ahahahaha! Now that was epic. Sabretooth w/ a case of cerebal palsy? I know, I know .... I'm so wrong. :-P But the doc is right. He did look like he could qualify for Social Security. :-)
There was a brand of soup in Japan that had a barcode which gave you a really powerful fighter. That brand of soup sold out within days. Beliete it or not, the Barcode Battler 2 had some functionality with Nintendo systems.
this seems like an idea that could work today, since portable games have much much better graphics, we could buy and collect packs of cards and get new heroes items equipment enemies and bosses. then could actually see what we scan in and battle.
In Finland, they had a similar thing. You had a green, red or blue little machine. You had to find a barcode, then scan it. Sometimes, an monster comes, sometimes, you find an item, or you find nothing.
I ate a hersheys with almonds during this video it made it that much better cuz i laughed so hard i have almond chunks on my laptop screen Hooray! for swiffer.
i recon it would probs be some fun for a character like me. you should review the newer 2006-ish version of that. called scanner racer or its sequal scanner battler. you dont need to cut off stupid barcode you just scan them straight off the box
@kjw41309 I thought of the famicon for some reason maybe because the words gameboy and japan were uttered in the same word though it would make more sense if he said NES.
@AGBmehrunesdragon and @kjw41309 I am a retarded bastard. I try to look intelligent, but I made a typo myself :P . It's Famicom, not Famicon. There you go. :D
In the States, a similar device was created in the early 2000's. The idea was to head into your local grocery store and scan everything. I believe this device was known as Scannerz. I had one and enjoyed it rather much. 9 years have passed and I realized I was a rather stupid child.
@DevilDan83 usually being trapped in a burning lift wit a corpse is all there is to do in Glasgow on a Tuesday night. Kind of loses it's appeal after the 15th time.
Lol I always wanted to have one of these as a kid after reading about it in a newspaper. But I thought it was a fightgame like streetfighter, not just a battle between some random digits.

this seems like an idea that could work today, since portable games have much much better graphics, we could buy and collect packs of cards and get new heroes items equipment enemies and bosses. then could actually see what we scan in and battle.

In Finland, they had a similar thing. You had a green, red or blue little machine. You had to find a barcode, then scan it. Sometimes, an monster comes, sometimes, you find an item, or you find nothing.

i recon it would probs be some fun for a character like me. you should review the newer 2006-ish version of that. called scanner racer or its sequal scanner battler. you dont need to cut off stupid barcode you just scan them straight off the box

When you said "not that" about something that was popular in Japan, what did you mean? Hamtaro? Naruto? Pokemon? Vocaloid?

That's the joke, whatever you first thought of.

@jwillborg Oh I see, so he didn't mean any one specific thing, it was a joke and it kinda lets you think different things.

@kjw41309 I thought of the famicon for some reason maybe because the words gameboy and japan were uttered in the same word though it would make more sense if he said NES.

@AGBmehrunesdragon What are famicon and NES?
kjw41309 1 year ago
@kjw41309 The NES (Nintendo entertainment system) games console from the 1980's and the famicon is its japanese counterpart.

The only reason the first custom card didn't work was the barcode was upside-down.

In the States, a similar device was created in the early 2000's. The idea was to head into your local grocery store and scan everything. I believe this device was known as Scannerz. I had one and enjoyed it rather much. 9 years have passed and I realized I was a rather stupid child.

Being trapped in a burning lift wit a corpse definitely sounds more exciting than that thing.

@DevilDan83 usually being trapped in a burning lift wit a corpse is all there is to do in Glasgow on a Tuesday night. Kind of loses it's appeal after the 15th time.
