About this product

Product Information

In this Game Boy Color update to 1989's role-playing game on the Nintendo Entertainment System, Dragon Warrior III follows the story of a young man, son of Ortega, who resumes his father's quest to defeat a powerful demon named Baramos. Unlike either of its predecessors, Dragon Warrior III supports a party of up to four characters from the following eight classes: warrior, fighter, mage, cleric, thief, dealer, jester, and sage. There are now 71 spells to cast, classified into such categories as attack, support, defense, healing, curative, reviving, travel, and more. Players will explore towers, caves, dungeons, and towns from land or by sea in this final chapter in the Legend of Loto trilogy. <br><br>Exclusive to this Game Boy Color update is the ability to collect more than 150 types of medals after defeating monsters. Players can check their status during this side-quest at any time, viewing a particular monster's artwork as well as the number of gold, silver, or bronze medals earned from a particular species. Duplicate medals can be traded with friends using a Game Link Cable. Other handheld-exclusive features include a board game styled after pachisi, in which characters can win bonus items and equipment, 100 "tiny" medals to find hidden in chests and other areas to trade for prizes, and interactions that vary based on each character's personality. The visuals have also been enhanced to a degree, with additional battle animations and revamped cut-scenes.

  • Dragon Warrior III for GameBoy Color

    A classic game with great music, graphics, gameplay, and story, not only for its time but in a general sense as it still holds up pretty well. Arguably the best of the first three games, they took what they learned from Dragon Warrior I and II and put all the good parts into a more fleshed out sequel. Would recommend for anyone wanting to get into the franchise, anyone a fan of RPG’s, or anyone who likes classic games like this.

  • A classic RPG with great updates for a more comfortable experience than the original.

    Dragon Quest III is one of the most important RPG video games out there, and the GBC version is a fantastic version. Great graphics, great gameplay, great design (mostly), and with better balancing, portability, and a decent remaster of the soundtrack, this is the ideal way to play this classic game.

  • Dragon Warrior III for GBC is the Perfect On-The-Go RPG

    In all honesty, I have only played an hour or two of the game, but I've still somehow managed to be fully-immersed into the endlessly charming and compelling world of Dragon Warrior/Quest. The third entry is positively wonderful, from its incredibly personal opening, to its streamlined gameplay, and sense of general, absolute fun!

  • The best Dragon Warrior ports out there, in my opinion.

    The best Dragon Warrior ports out there, in my opinion. The GBC offers enough flexibility over the NES to really capture what the games were going for, without feeling stiff or overwrought like the SNES ports.
