The is a handheld gaming console released by Epoch in March 1991.〔''(Conveni Barcode Battler boxart )''. Epoch, Co. 1991.〕 The console at retail was supplied with a number of cards, each of which had a barcode. Upon starting the game, the player must swipe a barcode representing a player. The game uses barcodes to create a character for the player to use. Not all barcodes work as players; instead some represent enemies or powerups.〔''(Conveni Barcode Battler バーコードバトラー )''. Epoch, Co. pp.1-14. 1991.〕 Because of the ubiquity of barcodes in daily life, players were encouraged to go beyond the barcodes provided with the game itself and to experiment to find their own barcode monsters and powerups from everyday products like food and cleaning products. Once the game itself is started, the characters "battle" against each other. The characters' statistics were applied to an algorithm containing a random number generator to determine the outcome of each round in the fight.〔 ==History== The original Barcode Battler was released by Epoch in Japan only. It was identical in shape to the worldwide released Barcode Battler and had a white case. Battles on this machine are much more simplistic than its successor, with support only for "Soldiers" (renamed in the worldwide release as "Warriors"), and infinite Survival points. In 1992, a successor unit called the Barcode Battler II (see below) was released featuring interface capabilities with the Famicom and Super Famicom. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barcode Battler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
