Gundam Wars is a strategy game that requires the Datach Joint ROM System. By scanning cards into the Datach accessory, the player creates Mobile Suits to be used in the game.
Gundam Wars is a game for the Famicom, but it is unique since it utilizes the Datach Joint ROM System accessory. Basically, this device reads barcodes from special cards that come with the game, with the character/item data being written onto these cards. This is the ONLY way to play the game, since you must select a character or item by swiping its card! Aside from that interesting bit of innovation, SD Gundam Wars is a strategy/action game of sorts. The battles are automatic so you don't really control anything aside from scanning in your characters at the beginning, and scanning items at the start of each turn. It is fun once you get used to the whole barcode thing, but if you are interested in a game you actually have some control over, I would skip over this one. Then again, I would recommend it just for the experience with this unique Famicom accessory.
