Dragon Ball Z: Gokuu Gekitouden

Released in 1995 for the Nintendo Game Boy, Gokuu Gekitouden (which roughly translates to "Goku's Fierce Fighting Chronicles") is a surprisingly deep and strategic RPG that bucks the trend of typical button-mashing fighting games that often adorned the Dragon Ball Z name. Forget your traditional arcade experience; this is a card-based battle system where your tactics and knowledge of character abilities are key to victory.

Imagine playing through pivotal moments of the early DBZ saga, from the Saiyan invasion all the way up to the Frieza Saga, but instead of just hammering the A button, you're carefully selecting cards that dictate your attacks, defenses, and even special moves like the iconic Kamehameha! It's a game that rewards planning, resource management, and understanding the nuances of each character's strengths and weaknesses.
