Summary

A top-down 2D tactics game that reminds me of Fire Emblem without the richer story. You have land, water, and aerial units to position around a grid-based map. Duke it out with the CPU or friends for supremacy.

Acquisition

I bought this in a lot with Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Super Mario Advance, Tony Hawk's Underground, and The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King from Goodwill. All in all, the lot cost $41.53 after tax and shipping; it was just $30 for the games.

Memories

The label is strange on this cart. It has scratch marks across it that peel away a darker layer of shading; sort of like a scratch-off lottery ticket. I suppose if I took a coin to it and evenly scratched it, the art would look uniform again.
