Is it still worth playing?
A role playing game from Enix released for the Game Boy Color in 2001, a remake of the 1988 Dragon Quest III, based on the Super Famicom version. It is a prequel to the first two games: the Hero must take up his father's quest to defeat the archfiend Baramos, gathering a party and traveling a wide, open world. You recruit companions at a tavern and choose their classes, such as Warrior, Cleric, Mage and Jester, and after level 20 they can change class at a temple, restarting at level 1 but keeping their spells. This version adds a thief class, mini games, medals, extra dungeons and a new opening, and its 32 megabit cartridge was large for the system. A new translation brought back adult elements and made it the first Game Boy Color RPG with a Teen rating. A party you shape yourself, with classes you can switch, still keeps the long quest personal.
