I never got to play these games as a kid so I started playing the first one on the GBA.
The first scenario in the game involves a hacker disguised as a repairman blowing up people’s smart ovens. This game came out in 2001. Idk, just thought it was neat.
I’m enjoying myself so far. Looks like there’s a lot of sequels. Am I in for a good time?
Red Sun/Blue Moon (4) are probably my favorite. 2 was my first, but I never finished it because a cup full of sprite spilled on the cart and ruined it. I remember it and 3 being difficult, but I was practically an embryo so who knows. 5 and 6 are interesting spins on the mechanics, and I don’t think I played any after that.
