The Dragon Warrior/Quest collection and discussion thread *UPDATE #3*

[ckendal]

I stated a few days ago in my Zelda thread that I would be creating threads of my favorite series. These threads would contain pictures of my collection and in turn users could share pictures of their collections from these respective series. Next up, my second favorite series, Dragon Warrior/Quest.

Here is a picture of my collection:



It includes:
1) Dragon Warrior (NES - complete)
2) Dragon Warrior II (NES - complete)
3) Dragon Warrior III (NES - complete)
4) Dragon Warrior IV (NES - complete)
5) Dragon Quest I/II (SFC - complete)
6) Dragon Quest V (SFC - complete)
7) Dragon Quest VI (SFC - complete)
8) Dragon Warrior VII (PSX - complete)
9) Dragon Quest VIII (PS2 - complete)
10) Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime (NDS - complete)
11) Dragon Warrior IV Strategy guide (Tokuma)
12) Dragon Quest VI Strategy guide (V-Jump)

UPDATES BELOW!!!!

I do not collect the Monster's games as they do not appeal to me and I do not consider them as a "true" part of the DW/DQ tale. I also have some more guides to find as well.

What do you guys think of my DW/DQ collection? What does yours look like? Can't wait to see some nice pics!

Enjoy!
-Carl

UPDATE!!! (Jan 25th, 2007)

Added 2 more items to my collection:
1) Dragon Warrior Strategy Guide
2) Torneko's Great Adventure: Mysterious Dungeon (SFC - complete)


I am not big into the DW/DQ side stories, but I picked up Torneko because I got it for $3.50. It doesn't hurt that he played a semi-important role in Dragon Warrior 4 either. This game tells the story about his quest to open the world's largest weapon shop after the events of DW4.

Question for you guys!?!? I only bought the minty Nintendo Power Issue #9 for the Dragon Warrior Strategy Guide. Do I remove the staples and take it out or do I leave it stapled in??

UPDATE!!! #2 (Jan 28th, 2007)

Added another item to my collection today:
1) Dragon Quest III (SFC - complete)



UPDATE!!! #3 (Feb 13th, 2007)

Added another item to my collection today:
1) Dragon Warrior I/II (GBC - complete)



I did not ever plan to pick up the GBC versions since I could play them on the NES and SNES, but I couldn't pass this up for $9.49!! What a steal!

I have also managed to finally get a Dragon Warrior 2 Unveiled Secret's Booklet. Pictures of that will come later when it arrives. (hopefully soon)

Cool man! no GBA versions? I have DW1 complete (NES) and Dragon Warrior III loose (GBC) so I'm lacking on that series at the moment.
So what's going to be your next installment?

Thanks!

I will assume you are referring to the Gameboy Color versions of DW1/2 and DW3. I am not as big a fan of handhelds and since I already have 2 iterations of each of these (as soon as I get DQ3 SFC) they are not high on my want list right now. I will, however, look for these in the future!

[Synergy]

Nice collection!

[chicnstu]

I do not collect the Monster's games as they do not appeal to me and I do not consider them as a "true" part of the DW/DQ tale.

But you consider Rocket Slime a part of the tale?

[Drag0nsfyre]

Yes I meant GBC not GBA oops! Come to think about it, I should actually should hurry up and grab DQ VIII while I can since It's $20 now.

[Poofta!]

also missing Torneko: the last hope. which is infinitely more closely related to DW than poket slime, or hte Monsters games.

[ckendal]

But you consider Rocket Slime a part of the tale?

No I do not consider that as a part of the "tale" either, but since it wasn't directly related to the Monsters (Pokemon style) games I bought it. And since it is a Dragon Quest game, it made it into the picture.

Anyone got pics of their DW/DQ collections?

[Frica89]

I recommend getting the Slime controller because it just looks so awesome haha...but anyway nice collection

[Daria]

Dragon Warrior's only happens to be my favorite series, after Shining Force. :P

I have no qualms over spinoffs, but am much less interested in the Japanese releases than CK is. Although I would love to buy a reproduction cart for Dragon Quest V, it's one of my favorite games from the series.

Very nice stuff Daria!!

[RegSNES]

Nice. Very nice. Only DW games I've got are

Dragon Warrior-NES
Dragon Warrior I & II-GBC Instructions
Dragon Warrior III-GBC Complete
Dragon Warrior VII-PSone Complete

They have a copy of Dragon Warrior IV at a store I go to for old games but they want $65 for that baby. I get 10% off with my discount but that's still a lot of green. I also should pick up Dragon Quest VIII. At $20, that game is a steal.

Now that Square-Enix is a single company it'd be nice if they gave the earlier Dragon Quest games the same treatment the first six Final Fantasy games got on the GBA or DS.

[Animerforever05]

nice! anybody want to do a Final Fantasy one or ya want me to?

[blue lander]

Nobody's interested in the MSX2 versions of Dragon Quest I and II, eh?

[RegSNES]

nice! anybody want to do a Final Fantasy one or ya want me to?

I wouldn't mind making one or do we already have one? I mean DP is so huge so there may already be one.

[ckendal]

I will be honest and say that I did not even know they made MSX2 versions of DQ 1 and2. And although I have no interest in them, thats pretty neat!!

Here is a YouTube video of DQ1 on the MSX2.

[SeverThe7th]

Damn nice collections there ckendal and Daria!.
Id have to borrow a cam to get a pic, but all i got is DW 1 and DW 2 so its not really worth it.

I dont think my DW II is complete either, i think i just got the box,cart,map and instructions ... isnt there another poster and a hint book? i want a better box for it too as mine has some wear and a small rip. Also i cant seem to fit all the inserts and stuff into my DW 1 box without the box expanding, abnormally. Do you know how to fit everything in perfectly?

One last thing, do you think you could give me a list for what DW 1-4 come with complete? I need it for the future. Kudos.

[ckendal]

Thank you!

On to your question:

DW1 - box, manual, map, adventure card, explorer's handbook, yellow tips paper, poster (another chart on back side)
DW2 - box, manual, map (there were 2 send away items; another map and the unveiled secrets booklet)
DW3 - box, explorer's handbook, map
DW4 - box, 2 maps, explorer's handbook (the tokuma strat guide was a send away from the back of the handbook, $10.99)

The explorer's handbook is THE manual for both DW3 and 4.

I did not open all my stuff up so this is off the top of my head, if I am missing something please let me know! Yes, I have all this except the damn Unveiled Secret's Booklet so if anyone has one and is willing to sell, please let me know!

Thanks,
Carl

I'll have to join in on this later when I can get pics. Shining Force and Dragon Quest are my two favorite series. The only thing I have that hasn't been posted yet is 3x Dragon Warrior protos for Gameboy.

Bring on the pics corey!

BTW, 1 or more of those protos weren't DreamTR's were they? He sold a few on eBay a while back!
