+ | * The first stage is "'''In the Ship'''" ({{Ruby|船|ふね}}の{{Ruby|中|なか}} ''Fune no Naka'').<ref name="guidebook1 p25">{{cite book|date=December 21, 1998|title=[[Yu-Gi-Oh!

+ | A total of sixteen opponents are featured in ''Duel Monsters'': four in Stage 1, nine in Stage 2, and one each in the last three stages. | ||

+ | ===Opponent drops=== | ||
+ | When an opponent is defeated, the player is given a card. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each opponent has a different list of cards the player can get for beating them, with each card on the list having an assigned probability of randomly obtaining it. See [[Yugi Muto (Duel Monsters 1)#Drops|Yugi Muto (''Duel Monsters 1'') § Drops]] for example. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Victory bonuses=== | ||
+ | The player wins a certain card from each opponent after every ten wins against that opponent, up to 100 wins. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Eighteen cards in the game are only available as victory bonuses; these are indicated in the below tables with a pink background and a superscript dagger (†) after the card's name. Specifically, the 100 victory bonus of every character is only available as a victory bonus, except for [[Mako Tsunami (Duel Monsters 1)|Mako Tsunami]]'s 100 victory bonus, #337: "[[Raigeki (DM1)|Raigeki]]", which the player's [[#Initial Deck|Initial Deck]] contains one copy of. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fourteen victory bonuses are also available as [[#Communication bonuses|communication bonuses]], indicated with a yellow background and a superscript double dagger (‡). Sixteen victory bonuses are also available in the [[#Initial Deck|Initial Deck]] (though none of them are also communication bonuses), indicated with a green background and a superscript section sign (§). All of these, except for #337: "Raigeki", are also available as drops, as are all of the other victory bonuses which are otherwise available. | ||

+ | ===Communication bonuses=== | ||
+ | The player receives a certain card after every ten battles against different human opponents via the [[wikipedia:Game Link Cable|Game Link Cable]], up to 200 unique opponents. While fifteen of these cards are also available as [[#Opponent drops|drops]] and [[#Victory bonuses|victory bonuses]], five of them can only be obtained as communication bonuses; these are indicated in the below table with a pink background and a superscript dagger (†) after the card's name. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The card #347: "[[Tremendous Fire (DM1)|Tremendous Fire]]" was notoriously powerful in this game, with the ability to instantly inflict 5000 [[Effect damage|damage]]. It is also considered one of the most difficult cards to unlock, requiring to battle 200 different opponents. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Because no official method of erasing a saved game was ever published, players could not easily keep resetting a second copy of the game to face more unique opponents. However, there is a secret method to erase the saved game coded into the game. To achieve this, players can press the following buttons at the title screen: {{nowrap|{{key press|↓}}, {{key press|↑}}, {{key press|B}}, {{key press|↓}}, {{key press|↓}}, {{key press|→}}, {{key press|↑}}, {{key press|↑}}, {{key press|↑}}, {{key press|↑}}, {{key press|B}} + {{key press|↓}}}}. Other non-standard methods of erasing the save file involve directly tampering with the cartridge, which risks damaging it or the console used to play it. | ||

− | == | + | ===Trading=== |
− | [[ | + | Cards can be traded from other games using the [[wikipedia:Game Link Cable|Game Link Cable]]. |
− | + | ||
− | + | ''Duel Monsters'' can connect with other copies of ''Duel Monsters''. ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark duel Stories|Duel Monsters II: Dark duel Stories]]'', ''Duel Monsters III: Tri-Holy God Advent'' (the Japanese edition of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories|Dark Duel Stories]]''), and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelist|Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelist]]'' can connect to copies of ''Duel Monsters''. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ===Communication Fusion=== | |
− | + | [[Communication Fusion]]s can be performed by connecting to a second copy of ''Duel Monsters'' or to a copy of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark duel Stories|Duel Monsters II: Dark duel Stories]]'', using the [[wikipedia:Game Link Cable|Game Link Cable]]. This requires the two Fusion Materials and #289: "[[Change Slime (DM1)|Change Slime]]". "Change Slime" has a chance of being included in the [[#Initial Deck|Initial Deck]]; after that, it can only be obtained [[Change Slime (DM1)#Drops|with a chance of 1/2048 per Duel]] against certain opponents, or as the first [[#Communication bonuses|communication bonus]] after battling against ten different opponents over the Game Link Cable. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | Eight different cards are available as Communication Fusions, and none of them can be obtained by any other method in-game, though all of them can be traded back from later games. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | {{pound}}067 "[[Perfectly Ultimate (DM1)|Perfectly Ultimate]]" requires a total of eight Communication Fusions to obtain, each of which requires a copy of "Change Slime"; it also requires three copies of #278: "[[Petit Moth (DM1)|Petit Moth]]", which is only available as [[Weevil Underwood (Duel Monsters 1)|Weevil Underwood]]'s 100 [[#Victory bonuses|victory bonus]]. Because of this, it is considered to be an extremely difficult card to obtain. | |

− | == | + | === Passwords === |
− | + | Nine of the fifteen secret cards in ''Duel Monsters'' can be unlocked via [[password]]s. These passwords use [[wikipedia:kana|kana]], rather than numbers or letters. Each password is the name of a staff member who worked on the game, or who worked on the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|manga series]] at [[Shueisha]] at the time. Many later video games instead use passwords which consist of eight digits, found on cards released in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game]]'', which did not premiere until after this game was released. | |
− | + | To access the password entry, the following button sequence must be entered on the main menu: {{key press|up}}, {{key press|down}}, {{key press|B}}, {{key press|down}}, {{key press|down}}, {{key press|up|B}}, {{key press|B}}. This requires frame-perfect input to succeed; if the game is being played on an emulator, the password entry can also be accessed by changing RAM address $DFDE to <code>0x06</code> and pressing {{key press|B}}. Alternatively, the [[wikipedia:Game Genie|Game Genie]] code <code>06F-DE2-F7E</code> can be used, which removes the requirement for frame-perfect button entry and reduces the button sequence to {{key press|up}}, {{key press|down}}, {{key press|B}}, {{key press|down}}, {{key press|down}}, {{key press|B}}. | |
− | + | After successfully entering the button sequence, [[Yami Yugi (Duel Monsters 1)|Yami Yugi]] appears and introduces the password mode, and then the player can enter a password. The screens used for password entry are the hiragana and katakana entry screens used to enter the player's name at the start of the game. Once a password is entered, Yami Yugi appears again and tells the player whether the entered password is correct, incorrect, or has already been used, and the game returns to the main menu. | |

+ | ==Temporarily obtaining cards== | ||
+ | ===Fusion Summon=== | ||
+ | {{Main|List of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters'' Fusions}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | The [[Extra Deck]] does not exist in this game. Instead, [[Fusion Summon]]s are performed during Duels by trying to [[Summon]] a monster from the [[hand]] on top of a monster on the [[field]]. The game features 2,159 fusions, resulting in 52 different monsters; often the same monster can be Summoned using a variety of Fusion Material, though eight of the monsters have only a single possible fusion. | ||
+ | |||
+ | All but one of the fusions in ''Duel Monsters'' use only monsters as material. The exception is #063: "[[Harpie Lady Sister (DM1)|Harpie Lady Sister]]", which is fused by equipping #062: "[[Harpie Lady (DM1)|Harpie Lady]]" with #318: "[[Elegant Egotist (DM1)|Elegant Egotist]]". In the ROM, this fusion is handled as an [[effect]], and is not stored with the monster-only fusions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | While the player does not receive a permanent copy of a monster Summoned by fusion, if a fused monster was not previously encountered, an entry for it is added. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Evolution=== | ||
+ | {{pound}}278 "[[Petit Moth (DM1)|Petit Moth]]" and its stages evolve into other cards after being on the field for one turn, in the order shown below. Permanent copies of the evolutions are not added to the player's trunk, though if the player has not previously encountered one of the evolutions, an entry for it is added, similar to fused monsters. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{pound}}278 "Petit Moth" → #056: "[[Larvae Moth (DM1)|Larvae Moth]]" → #072: "[[Cocoon of Evolutio (DM1)|Cocoon of Evolutio]]" → #057: "[[Great Moth (DM1)|Great Moth]]" → #067: "[[Perfectly Ultimate (DM1)|Perfectly Ultimate]]" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Only one copy of "Petit Moth" can be acquired per game, by defeating [[Weevil Underwood (Duel Monsters 1)|Weevil Underwood]] one hundred times (it can also be traded back from later games). Permanent copies of its evolutions can only be acquired by [[#Communication Fusion|Communication Fusion]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Having only 300 [[ATK]] and 200 [[DEF]], and with AI opponents attacking when they have a stronger monster, it is usually difficult to keep "Petit Moth" on the field for a turn; there are only thirteen monsters in the game with a base ATK of 300 or less. "Petit Moth" can be protected in a few different ways: | ||
+ | * [[Tristan Taylor (Duel Monsters 1)|Tristan Taylor]] does not have any monsters with more than 300 ATK and does not go out of his way to fuse cards, so will not attack an Attack Position "Petit Moth". | ||
+ | * "Petit Moth" is strengthened by all [[Field Spell Card|Field Magic Cards]] in the game. By default, this would only increase its stats to 390 ATK and 260 DEF, which would not be enough to protect it from any additional monsters (the base ATK values featured in the game jump directly from 200 to 300, and from 300 to 400). However, "Petit Moth" is a special case: instead of its stats being increased by 30%, they are increased to 750 ATK and 450 DEF, except for when #330: "[[Forest (DM1)|Forest]]" is active, which instead increases its stats to 975 ATK and 585 DEF. These boosts are enough to protect it against dozens of additional monsters (over a hundred in the case of "Forest"). | ||
+ | * #349: "[[Spellbinding Circl (DM1)|Spellbinding Circl]]" reduces the targeted monster's [[Level (stat boost)|level]] by 1; using it on a monster with a level of 0 reduces its level to -1, which reduces its ATK and DEF to 60% of their original values. This would require a separate copy of "Spellbinding Circl" for each of the opponent's monsters, as well as an extra turn for each monster to be debuffed. This would protect "Petit Moth" against any monsters with up to 500 ATK, and could be used in conjunction with a Field Magic Card increasing the ATK of "Petit Moth", to protect against additional monsters. | ||
+ | * #348: "[[Swords of Revealin (DM1)|Swords of Revealin]]" prevents the opponent from attacking for three turns. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The game's code allows [[Petit Moth (DM1)#Uses|certain Equip Cards]] to be used on "Petit Moth". However, since only a single card can be played per turn, and because "Petit Moth" is evolved into "Larvae Moth" as soon as its controller's next turn starts, it is not actually possible to equip any cards to "Petit Moth" before it evolves. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Rules== | ||
+ | ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters'' predates the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game]]'' and features its own rules for ''[[Duel Monsters]]'', most of which are based on the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|manga]] [[Duel Monsters (manga)|''Duel Monsters'' rules]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Deck construction=== | ||
+ | * A player's [[Main Deck|Deck]] must contain exactly 40 cards. | ||
+ | ** This is a hard cap: even when editing the Deck, only up to 40 cards can be used. Because of this, to change cards requires that a card first be removed from the Deck, before the new card can be added. | ||
+ | * A Deck can have up to 40 copies of the same card. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Duels=== | ||
+ | ====Setup==== | ||
+ | * Each player starts with 8000 [[LP]] and five cards in their hand. | ||
+ | * In campaign, the human player always goes first. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Playing cards==== | ||
+ | * Except for the first turn, the player draws one card at the beginning of their turn. | ||
+ | * A player may play one card per turn. | ||
+ | * A player can Summon a [[Monster Card|monster]] into one of the five available zones or activate a [[Spell Card|Magic Card]]. | ||
+ | * If a player attempts to Summon a monster into a zone occupied by another monster, the game will attempt to [[#Fusion Summon|fuse]] the monsters. If the Fusion is valid, a new monster will be Summoned into the zone. If the Fusion is invalid, the second monster will replace the first. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Modifying ATK/DEF==== | ||
+ | [[File:DM1 ATK overflow.png|thumb|right|160px|#067: "[[Perfectly Ultimate (DM1)|Perfectly Ultimate]]" with an ATK of 1648, rather than 11648, due to the overflow glitch]] | ||
+ | * Certain Magic Cards will modify the [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] of a chosen monster by boosting or reducing its [[Level (stat boost)|level]]: [[Equip Spell Card|Equip Magic Cards]] will boost the monster's level by 1 each, to a maximum of 2 levels, while #349: "[[Spellbinding Circl (DM1)|Spellbinding Circl]]" will reduce its level by 1. Each level increases a monster's ATK and DEF by 60%; #303: "[[Dark Energy (DM1)|Dark Energy]]" is the only card that specifies this increase. | ||
+ | ** "Spellbinding Circl" can reduce a monster's level to -1. In this case, its ATK and DEF are reduced to 60% of their original values; for example, #207: "[[Droll Bird (DM1)|Droll Bird]]", with original ATK and DEF of 600 and 500, has its ATK and DEF become 360 and 300. | ||
+ | ** Every monster is a valid target for at least one Equip Card. Nineteen monsters<!-- #001: "[[B.eye White Dragon (DM1)|B.eye White Dragon]]", #037: "[[Gaia the Dragon Ch (DM1)|Gaia the Dragon Ch]]", #043: "[[Karbonala Warrior (DM1)|Karbonala Warrior]]", #069: "[[Thousand Dragon (DM1)|Thousand Dragon]]", #082: "[[Red-eyes B. Dragon (DM1)|Red-eyes B. Dragon]]", #100: "[[Battle Warrior (DM1)|Battle Warrior]]", #118: "[[Supporter in the S (DM1)|Supporter in the S]]", #136: "[[Witty Phantom (DM1)|Witty Phantom]]", #156: "[[Hard Armor (DM1)|Hard Armor]]", #160: "[[M-warrior 1 (DM1)|M-warrior #1]]", #161: "[[M-warrior 2 (DM1)|M-warrior #2]]", #172: "[[Armaill (DM1)|Armaill]]", #186 "[[Fiend Reflection 2 (DM1)|Fiend Reflection#2]]", #191: "[[LaLa Li-oon (DM1)|LaLa Li-oon]]", #217: "[[B. Skull Dragon (DM1)|B. Skull Dragon]]", #247: "[[Root Water (DM1)|Root Water]]", #262: "[[The Little Swordsm (DM1)|The Little Swordsm]]", #288: "[[Dark Artist (DM1)|Dark Artist]]", #358: "[[Seiyaryu (DM1)|Seiyaryu]]" --> are valid targets for only one Equip Card. | ||
+ | * [[Field Spell Card|Field Magic Cards]] affect all monsters on the field of specified [[Type]]s. A Field Card may either increase a monster's ATK and DEF by 30%, decrease them by 30%, or have no effect. There can only be one Field Card active at a time; if a Field Card is active, any further Field Cards attempted to be played will be destroyed<!-- by either player? or can the opponent of the player that played the Field Card successfully replace it by playing one themselves? -->. This increase/decrease does not count towards the number of levels. | ||
+ | ** There are several monsters which are affected, or unaffected, by certain Field Cards contrary to their Type, as well as several which receive additional boosts over the normal 30% or are otherwise modified: | ||
+ | *** #278: "[[Petit Moth (DM1)|Petit Moth]]", whose stats are changed from 300 ATK and 200 DEF to 750 ATK and 450 DEF, before gaining its 30% or 0% boost: it has 975 ATK and 585 DEF in #330: "[[Forest (DM1)|Forest]]" and 750 ATK and 450 DEF in any other field, excluding the default field. | ||
+ | *** [[PaniK's monsters]], whose stats are rounded to the nearest 100 after gaining their 30% boost. | ||
+ | *** #074: "[[Giant Rock Soldier (DM1)|Giant Rock Soldier]]", which is affected by #332: "[[Mountain (DM1)|Mountain]]", contrary to its Type. | ||
+ | *** #027: "[[Beaver Warrior (DM1)|Beaver Warrior]]" and #047: "[[Torike (DM1)|Torike]]", which are not affected by "Forest", contrary to their Type. | ||
+ | *** There are no Field Cards which affect "Torike" or any [[Reptile]] monsters. | ||
+ | *** [[Fairy]] monsters (under #335: "[[Yami (DM1)|Yami]]") and [[Machine]] and [[Pyro]] monsters (under #334: "[[Umi (DM1)|Umi]]") only receive negative effects from Field Cards. These are the only monsters to receive negative effects. | ||
+ | *** Several monsters have 0 ATK or DEF; these values are unchanged by a Field Card even if it does affect the non-zero value. | ||
+ | ** Because of how they are implemented (as a set of hardcoded values), boosts from Field Cards are applied before level boosts, though this has no in-game effect. | ||
+ | * Due to a glitch, ATK and DEF values of over 9999 do not work correctly; the 10,000's digit is ignored. For example, #067: "[[Perfectly Ultimate (DM1)|Perfectly Ultimate]]", which has an original ATK of 3500, would have a boosted ATK of 11648 when boosted by a Field Card and two levels, but this glitch makes its functional ATK only 1648. This glitch can only affect the ATK values of "Perfectly Ultimate" and #217: "[[B. Skull Dragon (DM1)|B. Skull Dragon]]", as no other original ATK and DEF values in the game are over 3000; a value of 3000 becomes 9984 after being boosted by a Field Card and two levels. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Battling==== | ||
+ | [[File:Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (J) -S- 2.png|thumb|Battle screen showing #048: "[[Sangan (DM1)|Sangan]]" attacking #167: "[[Ancient Jar (DM1)|Ancient Jar]]"]] | ||
+ | * Each turn, the player must decide if each of their monsters is going to attack or defend. | ||
+ | ** If "attack" is selected, the monster is put in [[Attack Position]] and must attack a monster on the opponent's side of the field. If there are none, it will attack the opponent directly. A monster cannot be left in Attack Position at the end of a turn, without declaring an attack, unless it is the first turn or another card is preventing it from attacking. | ||
+ | *** When a monster attacks a player directly, the monster's [[ATK]] is deducted from the LP of the attacked player. | ||
+ | *** When a monster attacks an Attack Position monster, the monster with lower ATK is [[destroy]]ed and the difference is deducted from the LP of the controller of the destroyed monster. If both monsters have the same ATK, they are both destroyed. | ||
+ | *** When a monster attacks a Defense Position monster, if the attacking monster's ATK is higher than the defending monster's [[DEF]], the defending monster is destroyed. If the attacking monster's ATK is equal to or lower than the DEF of the defending monster, the difference is deducted from the LP of the controller of the attacking monster, and neither monster is destroyed. | ||
+ | ** If "defend" is selected, the monster is put in [[Defense Position]]. | ||
+ | * The turn ends after the player has chosen an action for all of their monsters. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Winning==== | ||
+ | * When a player's [[LP]] are reduced to 0, the other player is the winner. | ||
+ | * If a player's hand is empty, the Duelist with the higher LP wins | ||
+ | * If a player has all five "[[Exodia]]" pieces in their hand, they win. | ||

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters is the second Yu-Gi-Oh! video game, following Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule: Breed and Battle. It is the first game in the Duel Monsters series, followed by Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark duel Stories, and the only game released for the Game Boy.
This game predates the OCG by two months, and many cards seen here soon made appearances in the earliest OCG sets. It was published in Japan by Konami on December 16, 1998;[1] while a few (non-Yu-Gi-Oh!-related) games would be released for the handheld over the next four years, Duel Monsters was one of the last games published for the original Game Boy.
Contents
Cards[edit]
Duel Monsters features 365 cards. These consist of:
- 300 monsters and 50 Magic Cards accessible during normal gameplay:
- 100 monsters and 12 Magic Cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga.
- The majority of these cards appear in chapters up to and including Duel 91: "Death to the Undead!", released July 27, 1998.
- Card #217: "B. Skull Dragon" appears later in Duel 96: "The Deadly Guardian!!", released September 7, 1998. Unlike the other manga monsters, its card number is not within the first 100.
- Card #067: "Perfectly Ultimate" is mentioned but not seen in the manga. It makes its first visual appearance in this game.
- Card #013: "Tyhone", which previously appeared in Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule: Breed and Battle
- 199 monsters and 38 Magic Cards, original to the game
- At least 9 of these monsters were designed by fans.
- 100 monsters and 12 Magic Cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga.
- 15 secret monsters, at least 13 of which were designed by Kazuki Takahashi. These can only be obtained through a secret password menu or as prizes at the national tournament.
- One of the 15, #364: "Black Luster Soldi" appeared in the manga in Duel 117: "Running on the Edge!", released February 15, 1999, roughly coinciding with the date it was made publicly available in the game, February 21, 1999.
Game options[edit]
The following options are available at the main menu:
- Campaign (キャンペーン Kyanpēn): the game's story mode. Face AI opponents.
- Versus (たいせん Taisen): battle other players, using the Game Link Cable.
- Trade (トレード Torēdo): trade with other players via the Game Link Cable.
- Records (せいせき Seiseki): statistics and other information about the player.
There is also a password menu, which is only accessible by entering a secret code at the main menu.
Campaign[edit]
Duel Monsters is set during the Duelist Kingdom arc of the manga.
- The first stage is "In the Ship" (
船 の中 Fune no Naka).[2] It takes place on the Duelist Kingdom ship. - The second stage is "Duel Kingdom" (デュエル
王国 Dyueru Kingudamu).[2] It is set on the Duelist Kingdom island. - The third stage is "Simon Muran" (シモン・ムーラン Shimon Mūran), a stage unrelated to the manga arc, featuring a character who debuts in this game.
- The final boss stage is "Maximillion Pegasus", known as "Pegasus J. Crawford" (ペガサス・
J ・クロフォード Pegasasu Jē Kurofōdo) in Japan. - The dark stage is "Yami Yugi", known as "Dark Yugi" (
闇 遊 戯 Yami Yūgi) in Japan.
The player must defeat each character in a stage five times to advance to the next stage. A character that has been defeated five times can be Dueled additional times for more cards. Defeating Maximillion Pegasus five times causes the ending credits to roll. After that an additional Dark Stage appears, with Yami Yugi as an opponent.
A total of sixteen opponents are featured in Duel Monsters: four in Stage 1, nine in Stage 2, and one each in the last three stages.

Versus[edit]
Players can battle other players, who have the same game, using the Game Link Cable via the Versus menu. The Deck can be altered before the battle, from this screen.
After a battle, the winner can take one card from the opponent's trunk. After every ten battles, the player is awarded a certain card.
If this option is selected without a second game being connected, Tea Gardner appears and prevents the action.
Trade[edit]
Players can trade cards with other people who have a copy of the game, via the Game Link Cable.
From the trade screen, the player has three options, "chest", "check card" and "exchange card". The player must open the "chest" menu and select which cards they wish to trade. They can review the cards they have selected in the "check card" screen. The cards are traded when both players select "exchange card".
Communication Fusions can be conducted by trading certain cards.
If this option is selected without a second game being connected, Tea Gardner prevents the action.
Records[edit]
The records screen shows the player's name and communication battle statistics.
Obtaining cards[edit]
Initial Deck[edit]
The player starts the game with a 40-card Initial Deck which includes 33 Monster Cards, selected randomly from a pool of 100 monsters, as well as seven Magic Cards, which are always the same.[3]
All cards in the Initial Deck are also available as drops, except for #337: "Raigeki", which can only be obtained as a victory bonus. In addition to being drops, sixteen other cards are also available as victory bonuses, and #289: "Change Slime" is available as a communication bonus (but not as a victory bonus). Victory bonus cards are indicated in the following tables with a pink background and a dagger (†) after the card's name, except for #337: "Raigeki", which instead uses a red background and a double dagger (‡).
For display purposes, the list of monsters is split into groups of ten. This has no significance in-game, and is only done here for viewing convenience.

Opponent drops[edit]
When an opponent is defeated, the player is given a card.
Each opponent has a different list of cards the player can get for beating them, with each card on the list having an assigned probability of randomly obtaining it. See Yugi Muto (Duel Monsters 1) § Drops for example.
Victory bonuses[edit]
The player wins a certain card from each opponent after every ten wins against that opponent, up to 100 wins.
Eighteen cards in the game are only available as victory bonuses; these are indicated in the below tables with a pink background and a superscript dagger (†) after the card's name. Specifically, the 100 victory bonus of every character is only available as a victory bonus, except for Mako Tsunami's 100 victory bonus, #337: "Raigeki", which the player's Initial Deck contains one copy of.
Fourteen victory bonuses are also available as communication bonuses, indicated with a yellow background and a superscript double dagger (‡). Sixteen victory bonuses are also available in the Initial Deck (though none of them are also communication bonuses), indicated with a green background and a superscript section sign (§). All of these, except for #337: "Raigeki", are also available as drops, as are all of the other victory bonuses which are otherwise available.

Communication bonuses[edit]
The player receives a certain card after every ten battles against different human opponents via the Game Link Cable, up to 200 unique opponents. While fifteen of these cards are also available as drops and victory bonuses, five of them can only be obtained as communication bonuses; these are indicated in the below table with a pink background and a superscript dagger (†) after the card's name.
The card #347: "Tremendous Fire" was notoriously powerful in this game, with the ability to instantly inflict 5000 damage. It is also considered one of the most difficult cards to unlock, requiring to battle 200 different opponents.
Because no official method of erasing a saved game was ever published, players could not easily keep resetting a second copy of the game to face more unique opponents. However, there is a secret method to erase the saved game coded into the game. To achieve this, players can press the following buttons at the title screen: ↓, ↑, B, ↓, ↓, →, ↑, ↑, ↑, ↑, B + ↓. Other non-standard methods of erasing the save file involve directly tampering with the cartridge, which risks damaging it or the console used to play it.

Trading[edit]
Cards can be traded from other games using the Game Link Cable.
Duel Monsters can connect with other copies of Duel Monsters. Duel Monsters II: Dark duel Stories, Duel Monsters III: Tri-Holy God Advent (the Japanese edition of Dark Duel Stories), and Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelist can connect to copies of Duel Monsters.
Communication Fusion[edit]
Communication Fusions can be performed by connecting to a second copy of Duel Monsters or to a copy of Duel Monsters II: Dark duel Stories, using the Game Link Cable. This requires the two Fusion Materials and #289: "Change Slime". "Change Slime" has a chance of being included in the Initial Deck; after that, it can only be obtained with a chance of 1/2048 per Duel against certain opponents, or as the first communication bonus after battling against ten different opponents over the Game Link Cable.
Eight different cards are available as Communication Fusions, and none of them can be obtained by any other method in-game, though all of them can be traded back from later games.
#067 "Perfectly Ultimate" requires a total of eight Communication Fusions to obtain, each of which requires a copy of "Change Slime"; it also requires three copies of #278: "Petit Moth", which is only available as Weevil Underwood's 100 victory bonus. Because of this, it is considered to be an extremely difficult card to obtain.

Ante[edit]
After a communication battle, the winner must take one card from their opponent's trunk.
Passwords[edit]
Nine of the fifteen secret cards in Duel Monsters can be unlocked via passwords. These passwords use kana, rather than numbers or letters. Each password is the name of a staff member who worked on the game, or who worked on the manga series at Shueisha at the time. Many later video games instead use passwords which consist of eight digits, found on cards released in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game, which did not premiere until after this game was released.
To access the password entry, the following button sequence must be entered on the main menu: ↑, ↓, B, ↓, ↓, ↑+B, B. This requires frame-perfect input to succeed; if the game is being played on an emulator, the password entry can also be accessed by changing RAM address $DFDE to 0x06
and pressing B. Alternatively, the Game Genie code 06F-DE2-F7E
can be used, which removes the requirement for frame-perfect button entry and reduces the button sequence to ↑, ↓, B, ↓, ↓, B.
After successfully entering the button sequence, Yami Yugi appears and introduces the password mode, and then the player can enter a password. The screens used for password entry are the hiragana and katakana entry screens used to enter the player's name at the start of the game. Once a password is entered, Yami Yugi appears again and tells the player whether the entered password is correct, incorrect, or has already been used, and the game returns to the main menu.
The Passwords and instructions on how to access the Password menu were published in various supplementary material, including:

Temporarily obtaining cards[edit]
Fusion Summon[edit]
The Extra Deck does not exist in this game. Instead, Fusion Summons are performed during Duels by trying to Summon a monster from the hand on top of a monster on the field. The game features 2,159 fusions, resulting in 52 different monsters; often the same monster can be Summoned using a variety of Fusion Material, though eight of the monsters have only a single possible fusion.
All but one of the fusions in Duel Monsters use only monsters as material. The exception is #063: "Harpie Lady Sister", which is fused by equipping #062: "Harpie Lady" with #318: "Elegant Egotist". In the ROM, this fusion is handled as an effect, and is not stored with the monster-only fusions.
While the player does not receive a permanent copy of a monster Summoned by fusion, if a fused monster was not previously encountered, an entry for it is added.
Evolution[edit]
#278 "Petit Moth" and its stages evolve into other cards after being on the field for one turn, in the order shown below. Permanent copies of the evolutions are not added to the player's trunk, though if the player has not previously encountered one of the evolutions, an entry for it is added, similar to fused monsters.
#278 "Petit Moth" → #056: "Larvae Moth" → #072: "Cocoon of Evolutio" → #057: "Great Moth" → #067: "Perfectly Ultimate"
Only one copy of "Petit Moth" can be acquired per game, by defeating Weevil Underwood one hundred times (it can also be traded back from later games). Permanent copies of its evolutions can only be acquired by Communication Fusion.
Having only 300 ATK and 200 DEF, and with AI opponents attacking when they have a stronger monster, it is usually difficult to keep "Petit Moth" on the field for a turn; there are only thirteen monsters in the game with a base ATK of 300 or less. "Petit Moth" can be protected in a few different ways:
- Tristan Taylor does not have any monsters with more than 300 ATK and does not go out of his way to fuse cards, so will not attack an Attack Position "Petit Moth".
- "Petit Moth" is strengthened by all Field Magic Cards in the game. By default, this would only increase its stats to 390 ATK and 260 DEF, which would not be enough to protect it from any additional monsters (the base ATK values featured in the game jump directly from 200 to 300, and from 300 to 400). However, "Petit Moth" is a special case: instead of its stats being increased by 30%, they are increased to 750 ATK and 450 DEF, except for when #330: "Forest" is active, which instead increases its stats to 975 ATK and 585 DEF. These boosts are enough to protect it against dozens of additional monsters (over a hundred in the case of "Forest").
- #349: "Spellbinding Circl" reduces the targeted monster's level by 1; using it on a monster with a level of 0 reduces its level to -1, which reduces its ATK and DEF to 60% of their original values. This would require a separate copy of "Spellbinding Circl" for each of the opponent's monsters, as well as an extra turn for each monster to be debuffed. This would protect "Petit Moth" against any monsters with up to 500 ATK, and could be used in conjunction with a Field Magic Card increasing the ATK of "Petit Moth", to protect against additional monsters.
- #348: "Swords of Revealin" prevents the opponent from attacking for three turns.
The game's code allows certain Equip Cards to be used on "Petit Moth". However, since only a single card can be played per turn, and because "Petit Moth" is evolved into "Larvae Moth" as soon as its controller's next turn starts, it is not actually possible to equip any cards to "Petit Moth" before it evolves.
Rules[edit]
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters predates the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game and features its own rules for Duel Monsters, most of which are based on the manga Duel Monsters rules.
Deck construction[edit]
- A player's Deck must contain exactly 40 cards.
- This is a hard cap: even when editing the Deck, only up to 40 cards can be used. Because of this, to change cards requires that a card first be removed from the Deck, before the new card can be added.
- A Deck can have up to 40 copies of the same card.
Duels[edit]
Setup[edit]
- Each player starts with 8000 LP and five cards in their hand.
- In campaign, the human player always goes first.
Playing cards[edit]
- Except for the first turn, the player draws one card at the beginning of their turn.
- A player may play one card per turn.
- A player can Summon a monster into one of the five available zones or activate a Magic Card.
- If a player attempts to Summon a monster into a zone occupied by another monster, the game will attempt to fuse the monsters. If the Fusion is valid, a new monster will be Summoned into the zone. If the Fusion is invalid, the second monster will replace the first.
Modifying ATK/DEF[edit]
- Certain Magic Cards will modify the ATK and DEF of a chosen monster by boosting or reducing its level: Equip Magic Cards will boost the monster's level by 1 each, to a maximum of 2 levels, while #349: "Spellbinding Circl" will reduce its level by 1. Each level increases a monster's ATK and DEF by 60%; #303: "Dark Energy" is the only card that specifies this increase.
- "Spellbinding Circl" can reduce a monster's level to -1. In this case, its ATK and DEF are reduced to 60% of their original values; for example, #207: "Droll Bird", with original ATK and DEF of 600 and 500, has its ATK and DEF become 360 and 300.
- Every monster is a valid target for at least one Equip Card. Nineteen monsters are valid targets for only one Equip Card.
- Field Magic Cards affect all monsters on the field of specified Types. A Field Card may either increase a monster's ATK and DEF by 30%, decrease them by 30%, or have no effect. There can only be one Field Card active at a time; if a Field Card is active, any further Field Cards attempted to be played will be destroyed. This increase/decrease does not count towards the number of levels.
- There are several monsters which are affected, or unaffected, by certain Field Cards contrary to their Type, as well as several which receive additional boosts over the normal 30% or are otherwise modified:
- #278: "Petit Moth", whose stats are changed from 300 ATK and 200 DEF to 750 ATK and 450 DEF, before gaining its 30% or 0% boost: it has 975 ATK and 585 DEF in #330: "Forest" and 750 ATK and 450 DEF in any other field, excluding the default field.
- PaniK's monsters, whose stats are rounded to the nearest 100 after gaining their 30% boost.
- #074: "Giant Rock Soldier", which is affected by #332: "Mountain", contrary to its Type.
- #027: "Beaver Warrior" and #047: "Torike", which are not affected by "Forest", contrary to their Type.
- There are no Field Cards which affect "Torike" or any Reptile monsters.
- Fairy monsters (under #335: "Yami") and Machine and Pyro monsters (under #334: "Umi") only receive negative effects from Field Cards. These are the only monsters to receive negative effects.
- Several monsters have 0 ATK or DEF; these values are unchanged by a Field Card even if it does affect the non-zero value.
- Because of how they are implemented (as a set of hardcoded values), boosts from Field Cards are applied before level boosts, though this has no in-game effect.
- There are several monsters which are affected, or unaffected, by certain Field Cards contrary to their Type, as well as several which receive additional boosts over the normal 30% or are otherwise modified:
- Due to a glitch, ATK and DEF values of over 9999 do not work correctly; the 10,000's digit is ignored. For example, #067: "Perfectly Ultimate", which has an original ATK of 3500, would have a boosted ATK of 11648 when boosted by a Field Card and two levels, but this glitch makes its functional ATK only 1648. This glitch can only affect the ATK values of "Perfectly Ultimate" and #217: "B. Skull Dragon", as no other original ATK and DEF values in the game are over 3000; a value of 3000 becomes 9984 after being boosted by a Field Card and two levels.
Battling[edit]
- Each turn, the player must decide if each of their monsters is going to attack or defend.
- If "attack" is selected, the monster is put in Attack Position and must attack a monster on the opponent's side of the field. If there are none, it will attack the opponent directly. A monster cannot be left in Attack Position at the end of a turn, without declaring an attack, unless it is the first turn or another card is preventing it from attacking.
- When a monster attacks a player directly, the monster's ATK is deducted from the LP of the attacked player.
- When a monster attacks an Attack Position monster, the monster with lower ATK is destroyed and the difference is deducted from the LP of the controller of the destroyed monster. If both monsters have the same ATK, they are both destroyed.
- When a monster attacks a Defense Position monster, if the attacking monster's ATK is higher than the defending monster's DEF, the defending monster is destroyed. If the attacking monster's ATK is equal to or lower than the DEF of the defending monster, the difference is deducted from the LP of the controller of the attacking monster, and neither monster is destroyed.
- If "defend" is selected, the monster is put in Defense Position.
- If "attack" is selected, the monster is put in Attack Position and must attack a monster on the opponent's side of the field. If there are none, it will attack the opponent directly. A monster cannot be left in Attack Position at the end of a turn, without declaring an attack, unless it is the first turn or another card is preventing it from attacking.
- The turn ends after the player has chosen an action for all of their monsters.
Winning[edit]
- When a player's LP are reduced to 0, the other player is the winner.
- If a player's hand is empty, the Duelist with the higher LP wins
- If a player has all five "Exodia" pieces in their hand, they win.
Development[edit]
Announcements[edit]
In Weekly Shōnen Jump 1998 #26, released on May 25, production of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters was announced. The announcement featured screenshots of the game including the main menu, a Duel in progress, and the Puppeteer of Doom in the campaign mode.

Prototypes[edit]
An earlier version of the game featured a different graphic for the main menu. It did not include the copyright text, had a different font for the text Duel Monsters (デュエルモンスターズ), a different picture of Yami Yugi, and different text for the menu options:[4][5]
- VS CPU (対 CPU Tai Shī Pī Yū) instead of "Campaign" (キャンペーン Kyanpēn)
- VS MAN (対 MAN Tai Man) instead of "Versus" (たいせん Taisen)
- Trade (こうかん Kōkan) instead of "Trade" (トレード Torēdo)
- Collection (コレクション Korekushon) instead of "Records" (せいせき Seiseki)
An earlier version of the Puppeteer of Doom featured the Kaiba puppet more prominently with only a silhouette of the Puppeteer visible behind it.[4]
