Twenty years ago I played this game when I was in middle school. It took month, even years, to complete this with my little brother. I have to accumulate a lot of powerful cards just to finish the game. Then, a couple of years ago I see people speedrunning this game. Finishing it in 7-8 hours tops. Now in YouTube you see people finishing this game in an hour and a half.

So going back on 2016 or 2017, I bought the old school console the PlayStation 1 with in mind trying to accumulate the games I have when I was 12. Me and my brother did not have much games, probably around 15-20, as we did not have that much money to spend. Even with those limited games, it is enough to entertain us and challenge us. Those games were now “uncommons” PS1 game such as Digimon World and the aforementioned game Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories.

During the early 2000’s, Saturday morning and Weekday afternoon cartoons, in this case Anime, were popular among us middle schoolers, and one of them was Yu-Gi-Oh!, a show revolving around a card game. A card game that could be played physically as physical cards used in the show are being sold in stores. Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories retain some of the game mechanics with some tweaks in which at the beginning my little brother and I have trouble winning in the game.

It took me a while to find this game’s copy again, but after years of looking I managed to find 2 copies. Back to last year 2019, I decided to try to finish the game again and streamed it on Twitch. I managed to finish it but forgot to download the recorded stream and unable to show how I finished it. So I decided again to try to finish the game once again with the deck I used to beat it the first time in 2019. Of course with the new cards I would get while trying to finish it again.

So this is my Playthrough for the second time around with the same deck.
