Were there any card games like Magic: The Gathering for retro systems? I expect not, because the digital card game genre didn’t really “click” until later. But I thought I’d ask.
The Neo Geo Pocket Color has a fantastic card battler called SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters Clash that comes in SNK and Capcom varieties. Great game on a great system. Pairs well with the unbelievably good fighting game on the same system.
I’ll give this a try for sure! Thanks!
pokemon tcg 1+2 (English patch) for gbc is super fun
Second this one. Absolutely bangin OST as well.
I’m pretty sure there were some yugioh card games as well.
Nice! Just the sort of thing I was looking for!
dragon ball z has a couple card games but aren’t very fun
Arcomage was released on Windows in 1999

There was also a recent DOS miniature version for a game jam, which I cannot find again.
Cool, thanks! I see there is a browser version of the game as well!
There was a Magic: The Gathering computer game in 1997.
What do you define as a retro system?
Pokemon TCG 1+2 are all that come to mind, for me. If you want to stretch the definition a bit, the Megaman Battle Network series for the GBA has a deckbuilding aspect to it, but it’s more of an action RPG.
