Magi Nation is a 2001 video game for the Game Boy Color developed by American studio Interactive Imagination. It is based on the collectible card game Magi-Nation Duel. Magi Nation follows Tony Jones, a timid human teenage boy, who has just recently moved into a new town. Upon meeting the local kids, they coerce him into entering a cave that they themselves are too frightened to enter.

Tony explores the cave, and upon picking up a crystal, the cave collapses, and when he awakes from unconsciousness, he finds himself in a new, strange world. In a forest area, he summons a dream creature from the crystal and meets a man named Eidon. He is escorted to the city of Vash Naroom, located in a network of tree canopies and constructed of wood.

His basic questions of the nature of this world are explained. Soon after his arrival, a menacing dungeon erupts from the ground in a nearby forest (called Shadow Geysers). In the following events, Tony is mistaken for a prophesied hero named “Magus Kyros” and, with no other option, he ventures across this new world, searching for the means by which he can return home. Magi Nation involves taming dream creatures and using them to fight.

Whenever a creature is defeated, the player may receive that creature’s animite, a magical stone containing its essence. These can later be used to forge rings which allow the player to summon during the battle. Each Magi may summon up to four dream creatures at a time, and with up to ten rings equipped, ten dream creatures total at their disposal. Magi are able to fight on their own, casting spells or regenerating energy.
