You're a young boy who loved playing with the Digimon World virtual pet with his friends after school. One day after he came home, his virtual pet started to glow and then all of a sudden he gets sucked in. You land in a place called the Digital World and you meet the leader Jijimon and your Digimon partner (either Agumon or Gabumon). Then, Jijimon explains to you the crisis that a terrible force has disrupted the island and you have to stop it.
You have to raise your Digimon by feeding it, training it, fighting, putting it to sleep, taking care of illness and exhaustion and going to the toilet. As you progress through the game, you'll need to restore the island by fighting digimon and letting them join the city. Your main objective is to make it to Infinity Mountain and face off against Machinedramon! Since you can only reach the Ultimate level, you'll need strategy to win the fight. Do you have the strength and skill to defeat this almost foe?
Digimon World was released on May 23, 2000 for the Playstation console. This RPG allows players to explore a vast digital world, befriend and raise their own Digimon partners, and engage in battles against enemy digimon.

Game Guide

This is a monster-taming RPG where players explore File Island with their Digimon partner to befriend other Digimon. The goal is to rebuild File City by recruiting Digimon, who then open shops and services, including an arena for Digimon tournaments.
Story
STORY & WORLD
DIGIMON WORLD is a mysterious fusion of the natural world and digital fantasy. At one time, many kinds of Digimon lived together on File Island.
At a certain point, Digimon lost the ability to speak. They left File City to wander the various landscapes of File Island.
•
Factorial Town
A disorderly machine town, chunk and high-tech cognist. Lagman often hide in its sewers.
•
Misty Trees
A beautiful misty forest is located on the northwest part of the island.
•
Tropical Jungle
A lush green tropical jungle shelters a natural spring.
•
On the north side at the island is an area under snow and ice
•
Native Forest
A peaceful forest surrounds File City. There is a famous fishing lake (Dragon Eye Lake) to the southwest.
FILE CITY
File City is the first place in Digimon World that you, the Player, will visit. In the beginning, it is deserted and lonely because very few Digimon still live in them.
In order to bring back the Digimon who've come to File City, it's up to you and your Digimon partner to befriend them. As you gain more friends, they will open up shops that can provide you with useful items, and the City will again flourish.
File City will develop and more shops will open as more Digimon return to the City. Go back to the City from time to time and you'll find new shops and services.
SHOPS
•
ITEM KEEPER
This is a shop Agumon opens when the City grows. They will hold items for you that you can't carry.
•
WARP SHOP
This is a shop Airdramon opens. They can send you to any place in the world instantly. You can proceed easily to the next adventure.
•
ITEM SHOP
They sell all kinds of items depending on the different Digimon that run them. You can also sell your items here.
ARENA
As the city grows, many shops and services will open. One of the most important is the Arena. Here you can have your Digimon compete against other Digimon who've come to the City for a tournament.
The size and frequency of the tournaments held will increase as the City develops.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN A TOURNAMENT
1.
REGISTER AT THE RECEPTION DESK
When you register at the Arena reception desk, you can choose a tournament by checking the tournament schedule. Depending on the tournament, contestants must qualify by meeting requirements such as Digimon Specialty (see p. 18) or generation.
If the Digimon does not meet the requirements, he may not be able to compete. Registrations take place the day before or the morning of the tournament.
2.
ENTER THROUGH THE GATE AT GAME TIME
Once you finish registration go to the Arena. To compete, the Digimon must enter through a Contestant Gate. Do not be late. Lateness will result in not being able to compete.
WARNING!
•
If, due to Digivolution or some other reason, your Digimon partner digivolves between the time of registration and the start of the tournament, he will not be allowed to compete.
•
If the match results in a tie, your Digimon partner will be declared the loser.

Tips & Maps
TRAINING
All training initially occurs in the Green Gym, but other facilities offer different effects.
MEMORY CARD COMPETITION BATTLE
You can save competition battle data at any time, especially after raising a strong Digimon.
AGUMON'S DIGIVOLUTION
Agumon's digivolution to Greymon, Meramon, or Monochromon depends on factors like lifestyle, body type, offensive power, and HP.
DIGIMON DIGIVOLUTION
Digimon digivolve into many different forms based on how they are raised.
SPECIAL DIGIVOLUTION
Some Digimon may mutate into different forms, known as Special Digivolution, even without specific conditions, but they can still digivolve to a regular Digimon.
PARAMETERS CAN INCREASE AS A RESULT OF BATTLE
Winning battles will slightly increase your Digimon partner's Parameters, though not as much as training.
USE FINISHING TECHNIQUE WISELY TO DEFEAT AN OPPONENT
When the Finish Gauge is full, rapidly pressing L1 and R1 while your Digimon lights up allows you to use a Finishing Technique, which is undefendable and can turn the tide of a battle.
CONSIDER THE OPPONENT'S SPECIALTY AND USE TECHNIQUES ACCORDINGLY!
Each Digimon has Specialties, making them stronger or weaker with certain Techniques and better at defending against some enemies than others, so choose Techniques that exploit enemy weaknesses.
