Monster Rancher 2 was $22,99. Is now $15,99
Played the first one on my PS1, inserting all kinds of CD’s in the console to get a unique monster.
Sale Ended
How does one get a CD into the iphone to get a new monster?
That feature was only for the PlayStation. You visited a shrine and the game would ask for a music disk. The game would then generate a monster from the meta data of that disk.
For the iPhone, you can still visit that shrine, but instead of asking for a disk, the game would ask for an artist name.
