The series has only been released on VHS into seven volumes and has had no further re-broadcasts on Japanese anime stations. Because of this, it's difficult to find this series outside of the internet without finding bootlegs.
Loosely adapting the first seven volumes of the manga series, whilst also introducing some original storylines, the story follows a boy named Yugi Mutou, who is timid and often bullied. One day, he manages to solve a mysterious item known as the Millennium Puzzle, said to grant a wish to whomever solves it. Upon completing the puzzle, however, Yugi is possessed by a spirit residing in the puzzle, known only as 'Dark Yugi'. From that day forth, whenever someone with a dark heart threatens Yugi's friends, Yugi becomes Dark Yugi and challenges these people to Shadow Games, games of incredible risk that reveal a person's true nature.
