Thou hast done well in defeating the Goldman.

Thy experience is raised by 6 points.

Thy gold increases 196 pieces.

Axe Knight chants the spell of SLEEP.

Thou art asleep.

Axe Knight attacks!
Thy hits are decreased by 27.

Thou art dead.

I am sorry for anyone who has looked at this thread, I'm playing through Dragon Warrior again and I have all this crap stuck in my head.

I had expected more w33d references to finding the Herb.

Perhaps I should have mentioned that thou already hast a Torch lit in the cave.

Mushboom gets whacked!

Oh wait... wrong game.

 

[xfer]

metal slimes were worth soooo much to kill and they always fucking ran11!!

 

[0sm0se]

115 experience and 5 gold pieces.

Goldmen are where the money is at. Between 168 to 198 gold pieces and they are easier to kill than a red dragon.

I'm so glad I don't understand this thread.

i loved dragon warrior as a kid but even though i've been running through all the old great NES games i'm gonna skip it. objectively, it's a pretty shitty game.

 

[0sm0se]

I disagree, but then again, that is nothing new for you and I, Alex. I can agree that there is a lack of meaningful sidequests, excessive leveling time, and primitive rpg battle strategy along with a less than compeling story line, but it is a simple and entertaining way to waste time.

 

[LuminousAether]

Dragon Quest is fun, but if I were to play one now, it would be 5, 6, or 7 most likely.

 

[xfer]

dude you have a one-man party and you can only fight single monsters at once and most of the time all you can do is hammer "fight".

Who could resist making a quick stop off at the Inn before delivering the princess back to the castle? And then repeatedly telling her "No!" whe she asks if you love her: "But thou must!"

 

[capeda]

I tried downloading a rom of this the other day and uh... all the characters were either naked or in speedos. I opened up one of the chests in the room...

"Thou hast found the dildo."

After the soldiers started talking about the bad stuff the "Dominatrix" was doing, I decided that either my rom was hacked or that Dragon Warrior is filled with over the top innuendos that I didn't quite understand as an 8 year old.

How is VII for the playstation, anyway? I was always tempted to buy that but never really went through with it. I suppose I might be able to find in on eBay still.

The dragon warrior games are amazingly successful in japan. So in similar to FF-f-fashion they don't change a lot from game to game to retain their audience. If you could endure 1 and 2 you'll probably feel right at home with 7 or 8. If you want to be hardcore, pick one of the more belated ones as your favourite like 3 and claim some obscure feature really makes that game for you.

Okay, so, despite my anguish, I ended up booting up this game last night and playing until I hit level 5. Now I'm pushing for the Copper Sword.

 

[capeda]

Well, I didn't really like 2 or 3 very much. I remember I liked 4 quite a bit because they let you play as that merchant in a store and you could try to jew people into paying more than items were worth. I kinda lost interest in the game when it hit the final chapter and became more open ended and less FFish.

I'm pushing 16 with a flame sword, erdrick's armor, and a silver shield. I'm trying to do dragonlord's castel without a map. pretty intense getting lost in there before you have healmore.
