12 years ago at Apr 22 3:11 - Monster Rancher: Battle Card GB for me.
I found it hard to pull myself away from because I wanted to advance further through the randomly-generated dungeon levels. Also, its card battles are usually quite short, and their fast pace really gave me the feeling "Don't stop now, you can easily do just one more battle!" - and thus I had trouble putting it down. Since you face a lot of opponents in the dungeons, I usually had to force myself away from the game without definitively completing what I was doing. Even when I'd completed a dungeon, then I'd want to talk to people in the town and - heaven forbid - go to another dungeon!
For me, it was a great converging of addictive gameplay (the card battling) and the desire for progression (collecting cards). It's actually a title I wasn't completely won over on, but it's my most recent "Gimme the stuff! I NEED the stuff!" game.

I haven't gotten into card type games but might have to give it a shot just to say I did. I prefer the action type games and a little strategy though arcade is fine too.
One of my favorites is Crime Wave where you can shoot-em up and save the Presidents daughter along the way. Great scoring, graphics and point gates along the way. Hard for me to pull away from that (and many other) once I get rolling. My longest run was probably 14 hours or more, no bigski, had nothing to do that Monday anyway!
More later,
Frank Lamark
