"Beloved RNG Nightmare"
"Your opponent will kill you in 2 turns"
Boy, this game is ahead of it's time

"Nightmare doesnt have a single magic or trap card.  Hes 100% monsters"

Wow, who wouldve thought episode 1 joey was the final boss

The opponents having a 20 card hand is one of the cheapest programming decisions I've ever heard.

Regardless of how young you were, you learned real fast that Twin-headed Thunder Dragon was your best friend.

Ah yes. Forbidden Memories. That game where getting a Meteor Black Dragon could take a whole summer and getting trap cards was harder than pissing out a house fire.

Glad to know I wasn't alone in struggling with this game. Finding all the unique fusions as a kid without knowing why some worked and others didn't was always a blast

“Because it was made in 1999 the only strategy is to assume the characters gender”😂 that absolutely sent me

Fun fact: in the unmodded game, the computers LEGITIMATLY cheat because the game will CHANGE THE CARDS IN THEIR HAND depending on your own moves

Can't believe I've spent 25 years of my life remembering this game and that twin headed thunder dragon, CONVINCED that young gamer me was too baby to "know or get" what I was supposed to do, only to find out now at 33 years old that I did indeed uncover the winning strategy at age 9 and this game was just fucking hardcore 😂

The memories are probably forbidden because the RNG in this was the start of a few people's actual gambling addiction

I love how Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon is like, the win button in 8 yugioh games over the course of 30 years.

As a kid I always thought I was cheesing the game by making Twin Headed over and over and using raigeki to clear the board

Hold up, Seto, Isis, 1999?

That means this game had input from Takahashi himself, as the World of Memories arc wouldn't begin until 2001.

Also cool that he already had the whole story figured out.

Did the devs not think about how hard they made the game to the extent that you need to play in such a broken and drawn-out way??

I remember playing this game as a kid, I had no memory card, and losing any match is instant game over.

When the final boss said "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" I really felt that.

I remember renting this game from blockbuster during a sleepover with my friend and it felt like loading up a fever dream. Had no idea what the fuck was going on

My dad bought this game for us to play together when I was in first grade. Over the years, we played it pretty regularly trying to beat it ( no cheats or internet)
When one of us finally beat this game, idk who was first. I was in 7th grade
I still remember the celebration 🍾 ✨️

Imagine. Knowing Yu Gi Oh and only ever seen battle through this game

20+ years later a friend of yours introduced you to the actual duels and rulings... Then realizing that Normal Summoning Meteor B Dragon or Blue Eyes without tribute is a bit of bullshit

Literally the story of my life there.

"Hey Kids do you like YuGiOh? Wanna play a YuGiOh video game where the actual rules of YuGiOh don't matter?"
