  1. I've figured out the entire Zendra tribe's barcodes for #Skannerz !

    Next is Pataak and Ujalu, though since I don't have those Skanner devices, confirming all of the barcodes would be... tedious at best. I'll confirm the last few ones on each page and a few in each category to make sure I didn't place something in the wrong space.

    I guess these should go on a wiki somewhere.

  6. Interestingly enough, after monster 14, the next monster in series is 43. Why is this?

    Upon checking the #Skannerz wiki, it looks like the first 14 monsters are all "magic" type. (Skannerz uses a rock-paper-scissors battle system, but with the magic-tech-power wordage.)

    While monsters 1-42 are all in the same "tribe," only 1-14 are "magic" type. The next magic-type monster is 43. So while the monsters are numerically ordered 1-42, in my system they're organized by type, starting with magic.

  7. Progress has been made figuring out the barcodes for #Skannerz !

    UPC-A barcodes, the kind that #Skannerz like, reserve the first 7 digits for the company that releases the product, all of these codes start with 7459380, the code for Radica games.

    Then the next 4 are the product numbers, which determine the ID of the monster (or item) you get.

    So, starting with 0000, you get monster #001 "Falco." Add 72 (0072) and you get monster #002 "Gargoyle"

    But something happens after #014...

  8. Anyone else play with the SKANNERZ toys growing up?

    It seems like the only barcode repository is in a book a fan is selling, so I've been trying to figure out how the barcode numbers are organized so i can make a spreadsheet of all the monsters/items and their codes.

    I'm kind of surprised this info isn't out there on a wiki already! #retrogaming #handheldgaming #nostalgia #Skannerz

  9. So #Skannerz toys are a bit goofy. The Skannerz Commander has 126 unique monsters (plus 12 exiles) but can only hold 53 monsters at a time!

    This means to have a living collection of every monster, you not only need to buy 3 Skannerz Commander toys, but one each of the original Blue, Green, and Red consoles to "catch em' all" as it were.

    Which of course I now want to eventually do because I want to be the ultimate Skannerz master, but still! #RetroGaming

  14. Anyone else ever miss certain old pieces of techie #toys? Like, we have amazing tech now. If you showed AR games like "Pokémon Go" to 10 year old me, I would have lost my mind.

    But for some reason, today, I really miss the days of #Digimon Digivices, #Tamagotchis, #Skannerz Commander, #Miuchiz, #Megaman PETs, #Pokémon Pikachu, Giga Pets, etc.

    With the ubiquity of phones, I'd think there would be a million apps like those old #digitalpets toys, but it seems like there aren't really many out there. Why don't kids want to play with digital pets anymore? I hope they at least have #Furbies and #Tekno The Robot Puppy, still.
