Oh and I paid for 8 from money from Amazon mechanical Turk when it first came out and had a script running to make money and I got a ton of games that way before they changed what you had to do

I played through all of the main DQ games last summer and that was some badass gaming. I haven't played Heroes yet but I don't think I want to. Not $40 want to anyway.

my first encounter with Dragon Quest was actually as a kid, when I got this game because I read such good reviews about it in N64 magazine and wanted Pokémon in color





it was kinda too tough for me, but I had fun playing all the same. this series has gone on as Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker on DS and I'm stoked to give them a try. I hope the Joker 3, the newly released 3DS game, makes it to US/EU.

This was the first one I played too

My first experience with Dragon Quest was when it was called dragon warrior and Nintendo power sent it to us for free. I played the rest as they came out and it was a special day in my house. My dad and I played 1-4 together and then later I bought 7 and destroyed that. I beat 8 my first year of college. God bless this series.

dragon warrior was the only game my mother ever played and beat

she thought the ending blew dicks but admitted she'd had a lot of fun with the game

i never went back to any other DQ game i probably should

Didn't Square Enix have a sale on these on their webstore not so long ago? If you live in the US I think you can get them for a decent price.

Seems like the others have sold out, but you can get DQV for 20 bux, which is a goddamn steal:

I was able to get the carts for around 20 or less each, DS carts are still recent enough and ubiquitous enough (probably due to the 3DS still affording playability) that prices haven't skyrocketed.

I enjoyed Dragon Warrior Warriors a lot too. I'm a big sucker for the musou genre.
