Official Dragon Warrior/Quest Thread - Discussion & Collection

[ckendal]

I know I started one of these a while back, but the pictures were sometimes a bit much in the posts and I wanted to consolidate the pictures into one area.

Therefore, I started a gallery on my website of my Dragon Warrior/Quest collection which can be viewed here:

http://www.theretrogamer.net/gallery...p?g2_itemId=63

This is everything I have so far, but I have a few more things on their way.

I also want this thread to contain discussions about the series. If anyone has any questions or comments about the games themselves (import or domestic), post here and I am sure I or someone else will reply shortly.

Thanks and let me know what you guys think of my new gallery.

EDIT: HUGE UPDATE!! Check out my latest post in the bottom of this thread!

[Ed Oscuro]

Only thing wrong with mine is one small crease on the box and a wrinkle to the front page of the manual. It doesn't hurt that I only paid $3 shipped for it!

[Ed Oscuro]

I got mine for FREE! Beat that! ;D Eh, I should probably sell it to some DQ nut.

Hmm...
*Looks around for a convenient dumpee*

Where is your Torneko-The Last Hope for the playstation i know it's not a real Dragon Warrior/Quest game but it's part of the Dragon Warrior/Quest world.

Just haven't acquired one yet. I only have the Torneko Super Famicom game because I got it dirt cheap. It was never my intention to ever get any of the spin-offs or the Monsters games as they just don't interest me.

If you know where to get The Last Hope in awesome shape for < $10, let me know!

[Drag0nsfyre]

Quick collector's question:

Dragon Quest VI is the Japan-exclusive only one released with a map, yes? Were the Famicon Dragon Quests (1-4) released with maps?

[ckendal]

Quick collector's question:

1) Dragon Quest VI is indeed the ONLY Super Famicom game that came with a map.
2) None of the Famicom Dragon Quests came with a map.

HTH!
Thanks,
Carl

Anyone else want to share their collections or have any questions about the series? or comments?

Thanks,

[Blitzwing256]

heres a blast from the past

did you ever see/get the dragon quest/warrior cartoon from the 80s?

[ckendal]

Yes I did. It wasn't the greatest show, but brings back memories. I believe we only got 13 episodes here, but there were quite a few seasons in Japan. Too bad the DVD set costs like $350+.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Um... what about Dai no Daibouken? Or was it Dai no Daihouken?

We got that in Spanish in the late 90's but the programming schedule was run by crackheads so the series just... ended after they got on a balloon or something.

I hate Dragon Quest. Let's walk around in circles for ten hours building up experience. Yeah sounds real fun. NOT!
