Yeah but sometimes Gamefaqs makes a mystake and all webistes just copy it.
I can't tell anything about that game, I'm stuck like you.
I found in other site, and the my copy of barcode... is second (1999). 🙁
The manual seems to show a pokemon-like ? Strange we can't get to that point.
The manual is of the game barcode taisen bardigun light version, the mine copy.
EDIT: I tried to play barcode bardugn but nothing, er .... the three modes I don't know, as I said, my Japanese is not at master's level, I'm just a novice.
For now, we put aside both the Barcode, no one knows. If you want, you can add, I honestly do not know how to explain the mistake of gameplay.
However, I would to thank you, Medion.
