Make 10 - where math and adventure meets!

German box art
Here comes a refurbished and enhanced post from 2017 about a game I really enjoyed: Make 10: a Journey of Numbers. It's a quirky little game that I wanted to revisit again!

My mind couldn't let go of its unusual, definitely not stock-looking boxart for over a year. Eventually, I bought the game at my local used-games shop, curious about what the game is about. Yup, it was there on the shelf for over a year. It seems like no one was crazy enough to invest in a kid's math game in a German box (thankfully it's a multilanguage game).

Fossil League [DS] p.1 - Gameplay & Story

Contents:

Around early 2019 I played a rather obscure Nintendo DS game released in the West in 2007 (according to the Fandom Wiki), similar in gameplay to Pokemon. It was Fossil League: Dino Tournament Championship (Jap: 恐竜王者決定戦 恐竜グランプリ). Yeah, the full title is quite long. It was developed by MTO (in 2006) and localized by D3Publisher of America. Any other information is really scarce on the Internet, but MTO's website still has a page for this game (link). And it looks like they have yet another, and even more obscure, DS dinosaur game in their record... Hmmm, tempting.

But anyway! About 7 months have passed since I played Fossil League, and it's time to write about it, till I still remember what it was about. This post will focus more on the gameplay elements and the plot. The next one will be about the dinosaurs themselves.

Some screenshots were taken during my original DS playthrough, while others were taken via DS emulator to supplement the text.

Fossil League box art: Japanese and Western (US). Shows a quite change from the Japanese release, doesn't it?
I enjoy the clipart quality.
