Remember when everyone was going crazy over a card game for children? Yu-Gi-Oh! remembers. Before Ready Player One was even a thing, this animated series told the story of a boy who is taken over by the spirit of a pharaoh obsessed with games, who will accept a challenge from anyone, anywhere. Of course, the manga also inspired a trading card game. It first aired in 1998.
