Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories, known in Japan as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters III: Tri-Holygod Advent, was developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan and published by Konami for the Game Boy Color. It was released in Japan on July 13, 2000 and in North America on March 18, 2002. The game was Konami's first attempt at a Yu-Gi-Oh! game released in English and the third game in the Japanese Duel Monsters series. This game uses the rules of the previous Duel Monsters games, as opposed to the rules for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. Players of the game can trade and battle with other players using a link cable.Players must beat each available player in a stage at least five times in order to get to the next stage. However, he or she may keep on dueling them for more points. A usual game consists of players using their assembled decks of cards to reduce their opponent's 8000 life points to zero, but a duel can also be won by forcing your opponent to run out of cards in their deck and having them unable to draw a card at the start of their turn, or by having all five pieces of Exodia in your hand.The basic rule to defeat an opposing monster is that you must have a monster with higher ATK (attack) points than that opposing card's ATK or DEF (defense) points, depending on whether the opponent's monster is in its Attack or Defense Position. Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories also allows you to defeat monsters based on card type or element weaknesses; here, the different between ATK or DEF points doesn't matter and the card with the weakness is instantly destroyed. For example, Thunder beats Aqua, but no other type of card has an advantage over a card that has a Divine type. In addition, cards in the Element List do not have an advantage over cards in the Special List and vice-versa.In order to duel, a player's Deck must contain 40 cards and be under their current deck cost limit, which is increased by winning duels. If the deck is over/under 40 cards or over the cost limit, the player will not be able to duel until the error is fixed. Certain cards may also not be included in your Deck unless you have the appropriate Duelist Level, which is also increased by winning duels. The deck cost limit and the Duelist Level do not decrease by losing.Screenshoots :
