Subject: Lost Toys
When we were little, we had some really cool toys. When you're older, you can't remember what they were, and your parents can't remember either. That's my case!
When I was little, my parents got me this toy about the size of a Sega Gamegear, only it was an early Scannerz-type toy.
It came with little cards to scan, but you could use UPC labels off of anything. I don't know what is was called, but they didn't last long. At least this kind didn't.
Does anyone know what that is?

Funny you should mention this because I was just thinking about this today. I never had one, and couldn't remeber what it was called but the name that sticks out is "UPC-fighter".
