My first Dragon Quest game was VIII but when I saw the iOS adapt d version for $.99, I had to give it a try. For what it is and it's price, it's a great game to play for historical fun. Obviously, don't expect to much since this is a direct port of an old, NES/Famicom classic from the 80s but it's still fun regardless. Dragon Warrior III, known in Japan as Dragon Quest III Soshite Densetsu, is a console role-playing game developed by Chunsoft and published by Enix (now Square Enix). It is the third installment in the Dragon Quest series (then known as Dragon Warrior in North America), first released for the Famicom in Japan, and then the NES in North America.

What's next for Erdrick's descendants, the Dragon Warriors? Before their legend continues, it has to begin! That's right, Dragon Warrior III by Enix takes a trip back to the past for the birth of one of the greatest lizard-whomping sagas ever.

Dragon Warrior's Destiny

The king of Aliahan explains how your dad Ortega disappeared down a crater in battle with Baramos, a big beastie of the dragon variety. But what's worse, Baramos' buddies have been spotted crawling around the countryside. World domination could come any day! Fatherless and afraid, you set out on a crusade for revenge.

So you've got motivation. Now you need some friends. Your first step is to recruit three pals for your adventuring party. Take your pick from a Soldier, a Fighter, a Wizard, a Pilgrim, a Merchant, or a Goof-off. By balancing your team's fighting skills, defense, healing, magic, and luck, you're primed for the trials and terrors to come. Later, you can custom-tailor characters to beat certain obstacles.

ProTips:

• For a solid start, bring along Soldier, Hero (that's you), Pilgrim, and Wizard in mat marching order. Later in the journey, however, you'll need to return to Aliahan and create some specialty characters.
• Leap off the tightropes in the Tower of Garuna to find the Book of Satori. Use the book to convert one of your warrior-types into a Sage. As a Sage he'll gain magic talents in addition to his brawling abilities.

Build Character

Okay, so you've assembled your band of hearty souls and brave explorers. Unfortunately the catch, as in all RPG's, is that the whole lot start off as weaklings; crank up their levels, hit points, and skills as quickly as possible.

After you've built up your troop's 'manliness', amassed gold, and bought essential weapons and armor, you're ready to wander the world in search of fame, fortune, and big green monsters with lots of teeth. Once in battle, you'll discover that the menu-driven fighting sequences, reminiscent of DW I&II, are uncomplicated and easy to use.

• Invest in a generous supply of Antidote Herbs and Medicinal Herbs in case you bump into more trouble than you can handle.
• If your band runs low on health, don't waste money at the inn -- just snooze at your home in Aliahan!
• To earn lots of experience points early on, take several trips to the Cave on Promontory (southwest of Aliahan) and fight Horned Rabbits and Anteaters.
• An old man at the top of the Tower of Najima has Baker's key. You can reach him via the forest pathway south of Reeve.
• Someone in Reeve has the Magic Ball you need to enter the Cave of Enticement. Use the Thieves' Key to unlock his door.

Decade of the Dragon

Mysteries, locations, and items abound in Dragon Warrior III. It's a longer, more complex game than its forerunners with lots of fresh features, such as Travel Doors, which zap you across time and space to new worlds. The overhead scrolling graphics, sound, and music make the cut, but don't break the mold. All in all, Dragon Warrior III does a great Ultima impression, as did the earlier games in the series. Don't hesitate to get your sword polished and your shield buffed, and then help Erdrick and company look for some new blood.
