A Blast from the Past
2 of 2 found this helpful I purchased this game several months ago with my discovery of its existence. I used to play Dragon Warrior on the NES that was passed down to me when I was little, so I quickly searched on eBay for a good-quality copy of the GBC version.
DW is much easier in this version than the NES one. I remember spending hours trying to get to just level 7, and I reached it in the GBC in about just one. The most notable differences are the translation and the welcomed upgrade in graphics.
No more "Thou has done well," as the wording is now in plain English. Also, the fancy names of the NES game are gone, with new versions resembling their Japanese ones instead. Some old fans may be upset, but then stick to the NES. I prefer translations to be as accurate as possible, but that's just me. The newer games in the series (now called Dragon Quest) refer to these newer translations anyway.
I never played DW2 for NES and have not beaten the GBC version yet, but I can feel that it went through the same changes. I've played it in my spare time during the past week or so and mainly just have to level grind as I collect what I need to beat the boss.
DW and DW2 are classics. It's thanks to them that we have RPGs like Final Fantasy and Pokemon. Although they've been eased up considerably in the GBC versions, they still will take a chunk of time to get through. Plus, you have to keep in mind that you're getting two games on one cartridge, something you don't see too often. More than likely, you'll be getting it for the price of one game as well.
DW3, also for GBC, is part of a trilogy with DW and DW2. After playing these two games, you might be interested in the third. I just ordered my copy today.
