Animorphs is a game developed by Runny-Fun and published by Ubisoft for Gameboy Color and released in 2000. It has RPG gameplay that resembles the Pokémon games, but it has morphs instead of Pokémon. The game operates in a series of turn-based battles during combat. In a manner similar to the Pokémon video games, the object of Animorphs is to fight and defeat various animals and aliens in order to gain the morph (DNA) of that creature.

Sometimes, the player can use the animal’s acquired skills outside combat. For example, snakes crawl up walls, fish swim, and bird morphs take to the air. The game saves using a password system. Earth is being invaded by a race of evil aliens called Yeerks. They crawl into the brains of their host and control their minds. Their goal: To enslave every human on earth. A dying Andalite prince-warrior gave us the power…the power to morph into any animal we touch.

The Andalites are aliens too. But they are fighting to stop the Yeerk invasion throughout the rest of the universe. We, five teenage kids band together against an empire of alien slugs. We call ourselves the ANIMORPHS. The only catch, if we stay in a morph more than two hours, we’re stuck for good. Ask Tobias, he knows all about that. We may be Earth’s only chance for survival.
