A steady, leisurely slide is needed rather than the swift swipe many of us are used to doing with credit cards. At first I feared my e-Reader was broken, but I figured out that I was swiping the cards too fast. The scanner inside is as responsive as one could ask for. The unit is a bit bulky whether on top of the GBA or connected to the bottom of the GBA SP, but I’m sure Nintendo made the device as small as possible. Everything plays as smoothly as any GBA game with the same quality graphics and sound, and devoid of any glitching one might expect. So fascinating has the e-Reader been that I’ve spent all of my self-allotted video gaming hours playing and experimenting with it. I only became aware of this fine piece of video gaming equipment recently, and received it about a week prior to writing this. I realize that so far this has been more of a description rather than a review, but a device as unique and obscure as the e-Reader deserves some explanation. Simulation of swiping a card through the e-Reader. The e-Reader was so unpopular with Western audiences that a European release never materialized, though a few European versions were manufactured. As novel as this device was (and still is), it would be discontinued after a short year and change in North America though its popularity persisted in Japan.
The cards are swiped through the e-Reader like a credit card, and actual data is generated from the dot codes rather than the codes simply unlocking data already present in the add-on. It reads what are called “dot codes,” which are printed on the edges of cards. Inside of the e-Reader is a small red laser, similar to the scanners of UPC labels. At first glance, the term “e-Reader” may evoke thoughts of Kindles, Nooks, and other such electronic reading devices, but back then the “reader” part of the name referred to the device’s ability to read codes printed on cards. Looks like Ms.Pac-Man on Atari Lynx when the player gets a lightingbolt and runs very fast.Late in 2002 (2001 in Japan), Nintendo would release an interesting add-on for the Game Boy Advance (GBA) known as the e-Reader. Wasn't Baby Pac some weird hybrid between Pinball and Video Arcade? Someone brought a machine to the Texas Pinball Festival I attended in Plano last year (2014) but sadly it was DOA so I couldn't play it. I'm also kind of surprised by the inclusion of Baby Pac instead of Super Pac and Jr.

Then I like to cool off with some Pac Collection set to Pac or Ms Pac with Plus mode and random mazes. With 5 lives + Turbo, I can typically make the last stage with the corner death traps after two or three games. I like to use select button to start the level I left off on. Then when you use Turbo, it gets so fast in the latter stages I start making random errors while attempting to navigate the maze (I think my custom 8-way 7800 joystick is partly to blame,especially since you can confuse the game by hitting diagonals when rounding the corners). It is "balls hard" without Turbo activated.
