It’s also said that when you play these three games together, something happens.

This has all the energy of a chess master playing five games simultaneously, except the chess master never showed up and Ojama Lime took his place.

Random trivia for these games: Yugi's AI attacks lowest to highest ATK if you set a Monster. Kaiba does the reverse. I never had this game but my cousins had both.

Rata finally appealing to the Zoomers by cramming enough shit on the screen to hold their attention

The syncing of Kaiba summoning Blue Eyes and Yugi revealing Exodia is so perfect

Power of chaos. Tea the friendship. Tristan the strength. Bakura the psychopathy. Mai the gaslight. Pegasus the camp. Arcana the mirror match. Strings the ... Seeker the ftk. Solomon the dimentia. Bandit the gambling adiction. Duke the irrelevant.

That hero script shows how rata feels everytime people ask him to review Heroes Next thing you know, he'll have a hero review, but it's april 1st and he'll review heroes of might and magic 3

I cant belive Rata died as he lived Getting splitroasted by Exodia and Blue Eyes

I love how Atem in defeat is like, 'I'm so proud of you! You're always improving', while Kaiba's like, 'How could *I* lose? You must have cheated, you damn scrub!"

Joey's the best because he will actually change his deck to other Battle City character's decks, instead of staying true to his original deck like Yugi and Kaiba. I vividly remember Joey pulling out Dark Necrofear out of nowhere.

This really does feel like a cereal box quality game....

I'm just imagining an animated version of Rata frantically looking between three seperate hands of yugioh cards while playing these three matches.

I still just can't believe that 4chan's yugioh board got the kaiba VA to say sneed

51:58 - "King of Games, everybody" And Yugi took that PERSONALLY & IMMEDIATELY Exodia's him

00:26:30 You're spot-on about how the AI works in these games. I've played a lot of them. The AI does not know how to play hands, combos, or decks. It only knows how to play individual cards.

When i started playing yugioh i was working in a comic shop .these games were my entry into the game -the german version of the shonen jump magazine had a playable demo of the first game -and out of curiosity i installed it and got hooked ,later taught kids to play the game and created an official hobby league location-and now -45 years old still a fan of the game .

I remember playing the hell out of Joey the Passion as a kid, specifically because I found a version that was modded to have 3 cards replaced to be the 3 Egyptian Gods. I think it was Muka Muka -> Slifer, Maju Garzett -> Ra and I can't for the life of me remember what was turned into Obelisk.

This is like having a nostalgia blast while experiencing a dangerously high fever

I remember grabbing Yugi The Destiny in that weird Millenium Puzzle box with extra cards for about $15 in a bin. The cards it came with were probably worth more than this honestly

Playing on windows xp for the extra touch of nostalgia. Dude´s a legend, installing a windows version as old as La Jinn turbo just for the memes. Mad respect

really wishing for these game to be remastered,or hell even just resold somewhere,i want to have a legit copy of it cause i enjoy it so much back then

I love the effort Rata went through, not just to set up the Power of Chaos trilogy, but also the Hero and Bionicles bits

31:21 interesting conundrum. i did the mathematical analysis and found that, assuming you have an equal chance of either winning or losing a game, you would on average get the same number of cards per duel doing either single duel and match duel. single duel: 1/2 chance of winning: 1 card in 1 duel 1/2 chance of losing: 0 cards in 1 duel average: 0.5 cards per duel match duel: 1/4 chance of winning twice: 3 cards in 2 duels 1/8 chance of winning, losing, and winning: 3 cards in 3 duels 1/8 chance of winning, then losing twice: 0 cards in 3 duels 1/2 chance of losing and ragequitting: 0 cards in 1 duel average: 0.5 cards per duel of course, this doesn't take into account the skill disparity between the player and the opponent, or your ability to side-deck. in practice, a higher than 50% chance of winning makes match duel more favorable but i don't feel like doing the numbers on that one

The Toa bit was surreal. It was completely random and took me off guard, dragging me back into a time i could barely even remember like a fuzzy dream. 11/10

Joey: “Ah I’m in trouble! I betta think a somethin’ fast.” “PANTHER WARRIOR!”

I like the idea that you aren't even playing in the VR thingies they have in the anime or with duel discs. Like they still scream when you just declare an attack with your silly little paper card, they're just too used to it.

"I see what you're trying to do. Unfortunately, it's not going to work. TRAP HOLE!" Our cruisers can't repel nostalgia of that magnitude!

I love how uniformly these games were also played all across the Balkans. Yu Gi Oh was quite something, a lot of people liked it. I remember only disliking how there is only one opponent and wishing for some kind of a story-driven game.

i got joey the passion 12 years ago at a random ass CD store as a kid it was part of a 3 game pack. I played the shit out of it. My first introduction to Yu-Gi-Oh. Though i didn't understand the rules much. Took me something over a year just to learn how to set monster cards. Then i got a new laptop and lost the game. then i searched for the game for years. I always wondered "ohh yeah that game where you summon cool cards" but never found it until duelinks came out and i then learned that the game i played a decade ago was called Yu-Gi-Oh.

Hey Rata, just wanted to say that I finally followed your recommendation to buy and play Ultrakill. Well, 30 hours later and the only thing I am missing is the P Rank for the second Prime Sanctum. Thank you for recommending me my favorite new FPS.

7:30 The save file problem is caused by having a save file from Yugi as the last one. The fix goes something like this (You can search this in the net for the fix) Grab the save file from Joey and Kaiba and put it away (like on desktop screen) Save a deck on Yugi (also play a duel then save the new cards for easier to detect if it worked) Copy and Replace the save files on Joey and Kaiba using the save file you put away Check Yugi's deck if it was saved I am not sure if I am missing something. There's a lot of glitches to abuse on Yugi, while there's barely any on Kaiba and Joey (Make Voice Volume Zero for Yugi to play faster duels) Turns out there's an easier way

Aah nostalgia. Sweet as always. By the by, to stress how ubiquitous these games were, even here in Belgium we had them.

Playing Joey the Passion as a kid has made me nostalgic for some very weird cards like Flame Cerberus and Cybertech-Alligator

I recognize a bunch of these sound effects from the friggin DS yugioh games thank god they kept em

Joey: Dis card's a trap! Rata: MST it Joey: Heeeeey!

Honestly? Instead of a whole ENTIRE VIDEO about EVERY SINGLE HERO. I'd be more down to a single video on Destiny Heroes. Destiny Heroes are so interesting in their own little archetypal capsule. They had weird gimmicks with a few cards that stand out enough to get their own playstyles (Diamond Turbo, Malicious Engine, Plasma Turbo, and even Clock Tower Stall). Then they were made into a "proper" archetype in Arc-V with a few strange cards to give them a new playstyle, and then a NEW NEW wave of support that basically tied together old stuff with new ones. And then the Phoenix Enforcer support that turned them again into a better archetype and an even better engine.

My favorite defender is Maiden of the Aqua. Babe of the Tag Force 1 starter deck. Could not believe my eyes when they retrained her (Yorishiro of the Aqua). I thought I was the last person who cared that she existed.

Thank you for reminding me of Desktop Toa. He works on windows 10 and I now have a bionicle to keep me company when I'm surfing the web.

I had a demo version of Kaiba the revenge where you could just play the same decks over and over again and boy was it lit back in the day

Yugi jump-scaring himself with his own Two-Pronged Attack sent my sides into orbit.

PowerPoint of Chaos

Whenever i wonder if youre doing okay and if Shape has finally ended your life, I'm always given relief when you post something bi-annually.

About the Yugi bug of not adding cards to the deck, you can actually bypass it without fixing any files or regs By gathering 40 cards and adding them, then removing the starting 40 That way your deck will be saved but the starting 40 cards will all be gone since the game doesn't recognize that you own them (which is why if this bug is on, starting cards get labelled as "new" if you win them in duels)

Me and all my friends used to play these (surely illegally acquired) games absolutely non-stop. Joey had the most cards but I loved Kaiba for its presentation.

I actually did gather all cards in all 3 games back when I was a kid, but that's because I loved these games so much (well more like loved Yu-Gi-Oh) that I played them for long periods of time throughout 2 whole years (maybe even 3) so I had plenty of time to finish each one

Btw you are describing Machina 1:31:50 Weak start, actually pretty old, started getting real good later on, is decently fun now. The monsters have varying effects and theres not too many of them.

My favourite pastime of watching a suffering Balkan fumble through for-better-or-worse preserved moments in YGO-Video-Games history.

Well I guess this is proof I should be following you on twitch.

I remember going into my Walmart as a kid and seeing the Yugi and Kaiba games on the shelf and saying to myself "I want the Blue Eyes card that comes with the Kaiba game" so that's the one I picked. I figured both games were pretty much the same.

The memories, when i was little i learned th actual rules to the game through this games lmao. Before that my cousins and i played like in the anime with multiple "battle phases" (though in reality there weren't phases at all and we just mashed all phases into one). Then i played this and learned about phases and the game made a lot more sense to me since then lmao

how does he keep making such bangers over and over again

Yugi's Destiny of Love Kaiba's NTR Revenge Joey's Passionate Sex

Growling up in the countryside, power of chaos was the only way I could play the game growing up

In all of my years playing this godforsaken card game, this is the first time I've ever seen someone summon Metal Dragon, like, at all.

Those midi soundtracks really give you the early 2000 pc games feels

I absolutely love these games. And ngl I think this would be a fun alt format.

Shoutout to Desktop Toa for keeping the desktop safe!

I appreciate Rata's commitment to play all of these old games.

46:43 they made an archetype in the show only for some reason lol There was like a gunman of landstar and such in one of the filler seasons

I guess I wasn’t a Yugioh kid. Because I had none of these installed on my system as a kid. I guess I better take my random mostly valueless bulk from Pharaoh’s Servant and earlier and shred them just to be safe.

God, the nostalgia blast I got from hearing the Joey music... Also interesting to see the versions I didn't play as a kid.

I love these games. I made my first coherent deck in Joey the Passion. It was a mill deck.

hearing TWIWY referenced in regards to its absolute backdoor smasher of a soundtrack is nourishment for my soul

Kaiba’s theme opened up SotN vibes, then went weird techno. I love it

that xavier drop at 27:30 is gonna be sticking around til the end of time

OCG is putting out new Genex cards! Wooo!

I had all three but mostly played Kaiba's game. I built a mill deck with shadow scout, needle worm, the Jar brigade, etc and just clowned on Kaiba all day long

My childhood games! Glad you played this ancient games

I've spent so much time as a kid, and even a bit recently, on these 3 games ! I believe Kaiba and Joey were the very first games I ever got through piracy, because I only had the first one.

I had the Joey game on my pc as a child, I could never 100 percent the game because Kaiba would beat me every time lol

desktop toa? stop making me remember cool shit from my childhood.

Stupid Fact: These games run faster if you turn the volume to zero. It's the *only* way to skip the dialogue. I actually kind of liked these games. They're fun until your deck outpaces the opponent's, which happens fairly fast even if you don't inherit cards from an earlier Power of Chaos game.

cure mermaid fans when harm fishman enters the room

I'd kill for an Archetype Archive on Fortune Ladies

I had these and the Pokemon Trading Card game PC game. Very nostalgic memories.

Actually the first time I paid attention for House of the Adhesive Trap artwork

I owned Kaiba the Revenge, friend of mine had the Yugi one, never played the Joey one but this music is going hard.

I used to play Kaiba the Revenge a lot as a child. Good times.

I still haven’t finished the Duelist of the Roses stream. If I’m not completely brushed up on the history of the English throne, will I be lost watching this one?

My honest reaction to the thumbnail appearing in my feed "That is a whole Rata video, heck yeah!"

i miss the days when Yugioh games were abundant you had the gameboy games, the PS1,2 and gamecube games, you had the PC game simulators like these yet after GX everything began to die down and now all we have is the Switch game. I miss when the games use to have an original story behind them like how Forbidden Memories was a compressed version of the show itself (funny enough it used elements that the final season would have) and Duelist of the rose and Falsebound Kingdom were fun.

I've been watching this video like every day so I wanna boost it in the algorithm

Angry backseat gamers are probably having several aneurysms during the deckbuilding bits of this, and that thought pleases me greatly.

okay but can i pls have a link to that wallpaper, the 2006 nostalgia hit me harder than truck-kun

Wish I could have caught this live

I played so much of these games as a kid

This must be what goat format feels like

Ah the nostalgia!

Fear & Hunger mentioned ❤

Oh my god, I had those desktop Bionicle back in the day on my Windows XP. So nostalgic

Nier soundtrack always make me happy when rata stream

Now this is art

god, i remember the kaiba one... couldnt ever beat him cause i just summoned monsters without thought

Holy shit, Rata...sweet Soultaker wallpaper!

Im so glad you uploaded this but im kinda sad you cut out so much. Would really rather you keep as much as possible in but maybe thats not possible if a bunch of music is DMCA-able.

Kaiba taking damage just looks like he took a dry Backshot

This is like those tik toks with family surfers and subway guy and on top of the normal video so the viewer won't click off

My God 2 videos back to back😮😮😮😮😮

Ah this brings me back to when I first learned the actual YGO rules! Until I played these 3 games almost 15 years ago, I actually didn't know you had to tribute monsters to tribute summon!

I never noticed until now that house of adhesive tape has people in the art and now idk what to do with my life. It's just like the first time I watched a Rata video all over again
