This mechatronic game deals with eating. The player has to feed Barbie with sushi, hence the title “J’ai faim!”, which is French for “I’m hungry!”. The player has to turn Barbie’s head with the joystick towards a randomly highlighted sushi. Then the player has to eat that sushi. The action of eating is indicated by sticking out Barbie’s overlong tongue. Eating of highlighted sushis raise the score until one wins the game, while eating unlit sushis lowers the score. The player loses the game if not enough correct sushis are eaten fast. There is also time pressure, as eating nothing at all also makes Barbie starve over time.
