Aaaahh, Dragon Quest III. What self-respecting Dragon Quest fan and RPG lover could ever dislike that game? This SNES remake not only ups the graphic and musical quality to better-than-DQVI levels, but all the monster attacks are animated, which looks super sweet! Small Medals were also added, as well as various Pachisi tracks scattered across the globe, and a bonus dungeon that you can access when you beat the game.

All that’s fine and good, but I still prefer my Gameboy Color remake of DQIII. You get all that new stuff (except the graphic/musical enhancements.. but since when was DQ about pretty pictures?), plus you can collect Monster Medals which can get you into another bonus dungeon! Pretty tasty!

This patch is from an ages-ago collaboration between Antiriad (j3d!) and Drayman Darklight, neither of whom are a part of DeJap anymore. The game’s mostly complete up until you fight Kandar in Shanpane Tower (the script being almost entirely lifted from the NES version). Naturally, SNES-specific events (like the character creation scene at the beginning) are not done at all.
