A fun, charming side-game in the franchise that defined and characterized two consecutive generations, eat your heart out, Yu-gi-oh. The fact that this game had a remake is proof that we are living at the dead end of culture, and there's nowhere to go from here. I used to play this game at hotels that had the N64 attached to the TV, for $9 per hour...and at the kid-themed barber shop back in my hometown, before it was shut down, like the Blockbuster next to it. I write these things so as not to forget, I also pray to God, existing outside of Time, that my younger self will truly appreciate the magic time he lives in, because it's all going away sooner than he thinks. The lights have gone out in the Free World, never to be relit in his lifetime.
