Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (GB/1998) is one of my favorite video games of all time, and one that I've played more than anybody ever should considering how little depth it actually has, and how ludicrous some decisions by Konami regarding its design were. A few things got me into this, the 1st is that an English translation came out in the last few years and gave me a chance to finally play it, this was the most crucial reason by far, because otherwise I'd have never even attempted to play it, the other reason is that this is historic for the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG and TCG, since it essentially gave Konami the license for it and was used as the basis for the original rulesets. A lot of things about it are ridiculous, for example, do you want to get a Blue-Eyes White Dragon? Simple, just beat Kaiba... a 100 times, do you want a Red-Eyes B. Dragon? Simple, just beat Joey... a 100 times. You do get a card every 10 wins for each duelist, but the best ones require 100 wins... and I did it for about 5 or 6 of them, to get the cards I wanted, why? Well, this is the closest that we'll ever get to a Duelist Kingdom RPG, and it was my favorite arc, so its won me over for that reason alone, and kept me playing. Also, the artwork is incredible for the hardware and resolution.

I'm not sure why, but this is one of my favorite Blue-Eyes White Dragon artworks. After DM3/DDS they've tried to replicate the artwork we're most familiar with from the OCG/TCG, which is lovely and iconic, a classic, but this one looks just as good, if not better for me, the pose, the anatomy, all of it makes the already iconic design stand out a lot for some reason, all of its strong point, I wish we could get a new artwork for Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the OCG/TCG with this as inspiration.
