To rephrase, which ones were released in America?

Re: The older dragon quest games?

I think all of them have been released in the US, not sure about 5 and 6 though.

Re: The older dragon quest games?

oh, i think 1,2,3 were all on the famicon, but then were later redone for gameboy color ( north America ).5 was made for the playstation 2 but only as an import. 7 was on the playstation, and 8 is on the PS2. #6 and #4 are the only games that cannot be played unless you can read Japaneses . Fortunately Nintendo is making a lot of the games for the DS now, including 4,5,6 i belive..

It was Dragon Warrior here. And then they released II, III, and IV. All of them were on NES.

V and VI were never released here. Then VII and VIII came out here as Dragon Quest, the same name it had been in Japan since day one.

And yeah, they ended up remaking the first three for Game Boy Color back in 2000 or so.

Re: The older dragon quest games?

im thinking about getting a DS, thier making a lot of the old games on it, i think a couple that were only released in japan too. DQ 9 i supposed to be on it too. Im hoping DQ X will be on the wii! that would be so cool, espeically in battles where you can slash the sword, or lunge with a spear etc etc.

Not really, but they didn't start calling it Dragon Quest here in the states until VIII. Get your facts striaght man.

I'm really looking forward to Dragon Quest IX, actually.

Re: The older dragon quest games?

I've played the current book-ends of the series, DQ8 and Dragon Warrior on the NES. While I had fun with 8, playing Dragon Warrior again would be too dull to stand. The music alone is enough to limit gameplay to 15 minutes or less. I don't know how I finished it when I was little.

Yeah, that Monsters game is already out, it's supposed to be pretty good. As for DQ 9, it should be a lot of fun, 8 certainly was. Not brilliant or anything, but a solid, lengthy diversion.

Re: The older dragon quest games?

I liked #8, I bought it at gamestop one day to see what it was about and it ended up being one my my favorit rpg games

Re: The older dragon quest games?

I'm playing through 4 right now. I know a lot of people hate the tatics system, but I'm really digging it. I haven't decided if I like it better than 3 yet... I love that there's six overworld themes though. Why didn't more games adapt this?
