Barcode World

Barcode World (バーコードワールド) is a video game developed by Epoch and published by Sunsoft.

This video game was released exclusively in Japan on December 18, 1992 for the Nintendo Family Computer.

[2] Barcode World includes barcode cards that feature characters from many Sunsoft series, most notably Hebereke and Gimmick!, but using the White Card included with the game, players were also given the ability to scan a wide range of consumer products.

In this way, the Famicom was given the capacity to scan external barcodes to expand gameplay for the game to include all manner of household consumer products.

Soon books were released by third parties that listed in detail which consumer products had the strongest barcodes.
