Dragon Quest III and IV are two of my favorite games on the NES. They’re very good RPGs, and they do something a little different from the other games on the console. These are fairly important games in the Dragon Quest series. The third game brings the first trilogy of games to an end. ItContinue reading “Which is better? Dragon Quest III or DQ IV”

Dragon Quest II and Dragon Quest IV have quite a few similarities. Both are high fantasy games, have party systems, and are fun in their own way. There were a lot of improvements made between the second and the fourth games. Dragon Quest II improved on the first game in the series quite a bit.Continue reading “Which is better?

There were many improvements made to the Dragon Quest series between the first game and the fourth. This comparison will mostly track the changes between Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest IV.

Dragon Quest IV: Best of the Four NES Games
Dragon Quest IV is my favorite game in the series at this point. Granted, I’ve only played five of the games, so I have a long way to go. When you just look at the other NES RPGs, this one really stands out because of how different it is. This game is more cinematic thanContinue reading “Dragon Quest IV: Best of the Four NES Games”

It has been a while since I’ve compared two science fiction games to each other. This time, I’ll be looking at Robotrek and Phantasy Star II.

Which is better? Robotrek vs Destiny of an Emperor
This is going to be another odd one. Robotrek and Destiny of an Emperor don’t have much in common. There aren’t too many RPGs out there that are similar to them. One interesting thing is that neither game has magic. These are two games that I played on an emulator first before finding the cartridgesContinue reading “Which is better?

Which is better? Phantasy Star II or IV
Phantasy Star II and IV have a lot of similarities, aside from the setting and gameplay. Their plots are very close to being the same.

There were a lot of improvements made between the first and fourth games in the Phantasy Star series. They still have a number of similarities because of the setting, genre, and series.

Which is better? Final Fantasy II or Dragon Quest
Final Fantasy II and Dragon Quest are very different games. One of them is very basic, and the other is more experimental. Both games have some good things in them, but they aren’t the RPGs that I would hold up as being great games. Dragon Quest was great for the time it was released. ThereContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy II or Dragon Quest”
