I had the one on the very end. Would spend hours scanning tons of vhs and everything in the cupboard. Only time as a kid I enjoyed going grocery shopping.

I was much too cool for 7th grade. I was like 1 in a million.

Also I remember licking the metal connector thing near the top and it shocking me.

I had the green one for whatever reason it always picked something up on boxes of apple jacks

That was my favorite part.

>tfw knew it was a gimmick even as a kid

So why hasn't this been done better on a cellphone by now? Can anyone code I'll be the idea guy.

Fuck you man. It was dope at the time.

Red one was the best.

Same reason why only direct ports of old Tamagotchi and no Digimon outside of unofficial ones. Because.

same reason why Skannerz died

UPC codes are all over the internet, people would just scan the best ones over and over

>Going to the library
>Scanning every fucking book I could see and then leaving them in a pile on the floor

absolutely satanic

Pic related, there is one where you scan for cute anime girls.

>Take one of these into the zips market down the street as a kid
>Start scanning shit
>Cashier sees me
>HOY YOW CHING BING DOW WONG
>Run out of the store
>Lose the fucking thing somewhere forever
good times

>most of my classmates still only had the first gen of the Digimon Virtual Pet thingy
>they frequently battled each other with their mons
>one day I came over and whipped out my Digimon Pendulum
>tfw destroying everyone just by shaking it like a retard

>Using what wasn't even available outside Japan and had absolutely retarded matchup information when going against the originals.
You monster.

I had a friend who scanned a car sticker and got some unstoppable killing machine
4th grade was wild

P-O-X was the superior handheld
Used to battle my friend in class all the time back in 6th grade

Barcode Kanojo was great, service shut down a couple years ago though

No ones cooler than this cool an(on)

I did. I think it was defective. Literally only scanned like one monster.

What exactly are the themes that seperate the tribes?
They seem to be all over the place instead something like "Bug guys, Machine guys, dragon guys"

the fuck is that?

It is a real life manifestation of an autistic idea the a company board decided to go along with "just because".

Bet that guy lost his job.

>He didn't have Scan Command

My nigga

>buying a knock-off tamagotchi post-tamagotchi
you have to have friends that own the things

holy fuck. I need this

Raising is half the fun

Ayy

>be 9 year old me
>get the green scannerz on the weekend
>take it to school on monday because fuck yeah new toy, all the lads have to see his
>teacher confiscates it the second i take it out
>never see it again

fuck you mrs wright

I only ever got fucking lame monsters. Shit sucked.

Holy shit, I could never remember the name of this thing

>The second version is completely incompatible with the original set to the point every monster is replaced.
For what purpose?

This game was way too fucking ahead of it's time. Pic related is a game that lets you scan barcodes and generate anime girls from them. Skannerz could make a decent comeback as a cellphone app.

blue was top tier, it had white harmbe

Can I be the money collecting guy?

that could easily be fixxed
i'm pretty sure skanners was based on a randomize system, you could just code many more monsters, and base them off a rareness system. Also you could have a online battle arena and lvl of you're monsters by fighting players of a similar skill set.

Bring back monster rancher

I remember this. It was shit aside from making things into cute girls.

i was trying to remember what these were op

>that one kid who had a PET

Oh shit I had the Skannerz Commander...

Not vidya related, but those carts reminded me of Hit Clips.

>tfw you ask your parents for scannerz for christmas
>you get this piece of shit instead

It hardly worked.

fucking noice bro.

>Digimon never became as popular as Pokemon

Is there any modern equivalent of a digimon key chain?

I wanna be mad nostalgic but fuck those things are $60+ on ebay and i cant find my old ones

I picked Pataak because the logo looked like the Quake logo

I felt so ripped off when I got the digivice expecting it to be like the original but with more mons and then realizing you digivolved via shaking before battle

I remember all my friends getting excited for these
all big digimon fans we begged my mom to drive us to the store
we all got one and by the time we got back home we were bored of htem

IIRC battles were automaticly done when in proximity and just said if you won or lost and most of the game was navigating the roguelike shit or w/e

>He didn't cuck some poor japanese man out of his Asahi waifu
lmao @ u rn

WHERE IS IT user?!

Picked up one of these at a good will years ago.

Pretty sure its still at my parents place.

post the thing that floated in vvater in a tank and vibrated

loved those

I still have all four in my drawer. Still work too, tough little things.

found it. aquapets

Yeah I'll bet you did.

>all these Barcode scan toys

Damn, one guy had a gay as fuck idea and it was immediately copied by everyone despite being retarded.

It's like the FNAF of '90s toys.

I loved that part, I didn't know anyone else did it though

I remember being out with my mother and picking one up at the thrift shop for like 50c, using it at the supermarket on the way home and never touching the bloody thing ever again.

I don't know why anyone would have paid full price for the thing, how much did they go for?

/vg/ used to have a general dedicated to this game. We tried to steal each other's waifu. It was good fun.

>vibrated
You dont say

I remembered this game after looking through my old Sup Forums folder and finding GIF's of these things. It doesn't even seem that long ago when this app was big.

I still have two of these.
