as I abide by the semi-enforced self rule of logging compilation titles for games if that's how I played the games within I realized that I've forgotten to add this from wayyyy back when I played it like 5 years ago so like yea
This is a pretty good compromise for those that want to play the first dragon quests where it's not as riddled with the primitive jank of the 8-bit titles and also not as mobile-core as the modern rereleases. You really can't go wrong with any version of DQ 1/2 but this would be my personal rec
here are my old-ass reviews of both games from way back when I played them in the distant year of like mfin 2019 or whatever (i also logged these as the NES versions despite playing the SNES remakes because I didn't know they had a separate page at the time and can't be bothered to move them, don't trust anyone you know on the internet because they all might be scheming liars like me)
