Barcode Battler owner here. Me and my friend had a huge collection of cards made by ourselves. We did our own drawings and shit and my dad laminated the cards for us.

We had some really intense tournaments. We did draft, banned cards we didn't want to see etc. To remind you, Barcode Battler enabled characters, weapons, defense and healing items.

Our roster was amazing. We had your generic video game characters, but some more obscure ones as well.

Why isn't there something like this today? Even an app for a phone. Some sort of P.E.T. or scanning game with random drops and upkeep and maybe a multiplayer component.

I also got the new fancy one that came out a month or two ago, doesn't play LCD walker type things but it is still pretty rad.

My sister and I both got one for Christmas. They were the fucking shit.

Bot of our heal barcodes became unusable after a while somehow so we couldn't heal anything, and I couldn't find shit online. Not cool.

Honestly if Pokemon Go is anything like Skannerz, obviously minus the scanning part, I might cry from nostalgia. Can't wait to go on monster training adventures again.

>Because they weren't the original digipet

I meant to say that they weren't like the original 1997 digimon digital pet, the toy that started the franchise and likely the first virtual pet with a co-op battle mode.

I loved my grey (I think an Augumon) digipet so when I saw Pox I expected a similar thing.


>>323736456

Pox was a game about an Alien "virus" like species invading earth and infecting humans.

9/11 happened and then the Anthrax scare, an event where terrorists tried mailing activated anthrax to certain political people and a mailman got infected.

This caused a powerful fear of bio-terrorism and thus anything referencing diseases was shut down.

>>323737854

Handheld electronic game is usually what they called things that used old, calculator tier LCD tech, the kind of shit Tiger was known for. In fact I used to call them "calculator games" to differentiate them from handhelds like the gameboy.

If you're talking about the "inbetween" where the games used LCD pixales it's likely because by the time they started doing that better types of screens were available.
