Discovering the Magic of Dragon Quest
What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?
For countless gamers around the world, finding a game that resonates with them becomes an unforgettable part of their journey. For me, that game is Dragon Quest.
My fondness for Dragon Quest blossomed, in particular, with Dragon Quest 6. The expansive options this installment offered were beyond any gamer’s dream. Not only could you select your profession, ranging from warriors to magicians, dancers, and more, but each profession came with its unique set of skills. I found the trajectory from a casual “gambler” reaching the pinnacle and then evolving into a “sage” particularly compelling—it seemed to narrate the unpredictability and excitement of life itself.
Choosing a marriage partner within the game, whether it was a princess or a long-standing comrade, was another highlight. The narrative’s shifts based on this choice added layers of depth and intrigue.
Another factor that made me adore the game even more was the ability to befriend enemy monsters. The thrill of watching a seemingly weak slime learn numerous skills and eventually tackle a powerful dragon was unparalleled. For those who haven’t experienced this joy, Dragon Quest is now available online. Dive in, and you may find yourself ensnared in its captivating world.
Yet, a word of caution: I’ve found myself reducing my gaming hours lately. This isn’t out of waning interest, but a conscious acknowledgment of gaming’s addictive nature. Losing sleep and finding my thoughts consumed by the game even during work hours were signs I couldn’t ignore.
Like with everything, moderation is key.
Thank you for joining me on this trip down memory lane. If you haven’t experienced Dragon Quest yet, I encourage you to give it a try. But remember to balance your time; after all, our real-world quests await.
Is that a sequel to the original NES game?
Thank you for your comment.

I thought it was the same game. I played the heck out of that thing!
