  Dragon Quest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dragon Quest's North American name change was necessitated due to a trademark conflict with the role-playing game DragonQuest, which was published by veteran wargame publisher SPI in the 1980s until the company's bankruptcy in 1982 and purchase by TSR, which then published it as an alternate line to Dungeons and Dragons until 1987.
In Dragon Warrior VII, the Demon Lord, otherwise known as the Devil (known as Orgodemir in the game), is the final boss, and there is also a sidequest to fight God himself.
Dragon Quest is a cultural phenomenon in Japan that there are live-action ballets, musical concerts, and audio CDs based on the Dragon Quest universe.

 Dragon Warrior III for Game Boy Color Reviews at DealTime.co.uk
Dragon Warrior II and Dragon Warrior III, which completed the Erdrick trilogy (and, finally with the third game, truly explains who the hell Erdrick is in the first place), and Dragon Warrior IV were terrific games.
Dragon Warrior II was great, but you could only have three characters in your party at one time and they were set character classes.
Dragon Warrior IV was also a great game, but was split into sections as you develop your characters (also of set class) separately only to have them meet up at one point and join each other on the quest.

 Kids Domain Console Kids - Dragon Warrior III
Dragon Warrior III is a role playing game, based on what is essentially a Dungeons & Dragons type of adventure.
As in all these games there is a definite learning curve on the character types and how to use their abilities in monster encounters, but gameplay is open-ended and addictive.
My kids have enjoyed Dragon Warrior III very much, though not perhaps quite as much as the Oracle titles which are their current favorites.

The look of Dragon Warrior VII is composed of very sparsely detailed 3D town and dungeon environments on which small, sparingly animated sprite-based characters are superimposed.
Dragon Warrior VII's battle system is similarly archaic, as it heavily resembles the system that's been in place since the very first installment of the series.

Dragon Warrior 3 was one of the highest-rated and most-sought RPGs of its day, and has been remade not once, but twice.
This latest incarnation is a true overhaul of the game, to the point of near non-recognition in terms of its strategy, but retains the story and spirit of the original.
There's not much to be said for the overall story of Dragon Warrior 3 - your ultimate targets are very clearly defined for you at the outset, which amounts to "Destroy the Evil of the World".

 Dragon Warrior III -- GBC -- Five Stars
Here you can create characters with the following classes: warrior, fighter, mage, cleric, thief, dealer, jester, sage, leaving you, that is your character, alone in his class, the hero, which mixes the best of most of the other classes together.
Some mentionable ones would be the sage, who is kind of mixture between the cleric and the mage, and the fighter, a more refined version of the warrior.
There is one last reason to buy a game for the GBC, and that reason is Dragon Warrior III.

Dragon Warrior is simple to play, yet complex in plot and landscapes.
The plot is a bit more personal than Dragon Warriors 1 and 2 (with every successive DW game, the plot seems to get better and better), especially with the added feature in the beginning where the light goddess from Alefgard asks you moral questions and sees how you answer them.
For those of you unfamiliar with the DW series, he is the one you give tiny medals to, and he reimburses you with various prizes, like cool weapons and armor.

 The Armchair Empire - Classic Gaming: Dragon Warrior III (NES)
The music was often very well composed, and did a very good job of complementing the theme of the game, except that the battle music could get very irritating with the frequency of combat in the game.
This constant fighting in Dragon Warrior III, and sadly a predominant trend in RPGs of the 1980s, could sometimes make playing the game a chore.
By today’s standards the Dragon Warrior III would be a tedious chore to muddle through, but for its time it was still fresh and strangely mesmerizing ten years ago.

The class system is handled in an excellent manner that is replicated and built upon in later Dragon Warrior games.
This makes for some interesting combinations such as a powerful Warrior who can cast magic spells, or a Fighter heal, who's speed will enable him to go first in a round making sure you get healed immediately.

Dragon Warrior III is very differant from the other games in the series, at least in the basic party structure, which is a main part of any RPG.
I find it hard to believe the Nintendo lasted as long as it did, with cames being made for it a full three years after the SNES was released.
I think that it is very similar the rest of the Dragon Warrior series; However, the series itself is drastically differant from other RPGs.
