I know this is a bit of a longshot, but I remember playing one of the original Monster Rancher games a long time ago. I'm pretty sure it was this one:



Since then, I think it has been on the Playstation 2 and Nintendo Handhelds exclusively.

I was wondering if anyone had heard news of future iterations of the game (Perhaps on PSP or PS3?). The Tecmo website looks fine from the front page, but when you click on games, it turns into a total mess. Why do companies let their websites go down the drain like that? The games "Coming Soon" section lists games that are coming in 2006. That is pathetic.

Well, I guess I am kind of answering my own question here, but I was wondering that, and if the series is even worth paying attention to at this point. I have no idea what it was really about, but remember that you could unlock monsters with different cds and games, things like that.

That is great information Jason. I really appreciate all that. I am going to look deeper into it, and see what's worth checking out. I guess the image doesn't really matter anymore, they figured out that I was illegally showin' it to ya.

While we're on the subject of obscure PS2 games, did you ever play, or know someone who played "Mister Mosquito"? That game intrigued me when it came out, but I didn't have the money at the time to buy it. It seemed like a hilarious idea though. I kind of want to pick it up.
