Complete in box: the cartridge, the manual and the box, all original; anything beyond that is included only if you can see it in the photos. The photos are of this exact copy — look them over closely for its condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

The final act of Dragon Warrior III does something few RPGs of its era dared: it reaches back and rewrites what you thought you knew about the first two games, revealing exactly whose legend you were living in all along. That payoff is a big reason the game is so fondly remembered as the capstone of the original Erdrick trilogy, and the Game Boy Color version is a fantastic way to experience it.

You play as the child of Ortega, a legendary warrior who vanished trying to defeat the archfiend Baramos, and the King of Aliahan sends you to finish the job. Your companions are not fixed characters; you recruit them at the tavern, choosing each one's class and building a four-person party that is entirely your own. At level 20, characters can visit the temple of Dhama and change class, halving their stats and starting over at level 1 while keeping their spells, which opens up hybrids such as a hard-hitting brawler who still knows healing spells. A day and night cycle changes who and what you find in each town.

This edition is based on the Super Famicom remake, not just the NES original, and it brought that version's additions to English-speaking players for the first time. A personality system, set by moral-dilemma questions at the start, shapes how your hero grows. A new Thief class joins the roster, and class-change options at Dhama are expanded. Mini Medals, a Pachisi-style board game with prizes, Monster Medals collected from defeated enemies and tradeable over a link cable, and two bonus dungeons after the main quest give it much more to chew on than the 1988 original. It came on one of the largest Game Boy Color carts released in North America, with a new translation restoring material cut from the first American release.

Critics took notice: IGN gave it a perfect 10 and GameSpot called it a worthy port. It plays beautifully in short handheld sessions, and few cartridges on the system hold this much classic Dragon Quest.
