The game can actually become a joke if you’re willing to save scum with save states. (The revision mostly had to do with minor text changes, I think.) It’s possible, but not likely, that one was harder than the other, and someone who has looked at the code of both versions could probably tell us more. I’m not an expert, other than just playing through the game in emulation, but I have two thoughts:ġ) If I remember right, there was a revision, so there are two versions of Dragon Warrior out in the wild. It is still true for arcade games, but only because people with crap hardware and no Google-fu insist on running 20-year-old versions of MAME and the crusty old ROMs that were considered "good dumps" at the time. So I figured there must be other errors or differences in other ROMs too.Īs star_jump mentioned above, it used to be shockingly common for ROMs to be poorly dumped, but that isn't the case these days since most of the bad dumps have been phased out. I thought that when I first started playing ROMs, but my copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 (SNES) has a bug where floods aren't randomized but instead hit only three provinces.Īre you sure that it's a bug with your copy and not just a quirk of the SNES version? Because these two threads from GameFAQs suggest it's either the latter or ZSNES being a shitty emulator (which it is - use bsnes or Snes9x instead). So I'm wondering, is the ROM a faithful version of the original and I've just misremembered the game as not being kind of shitty, or is it significantly harder? I wasn't able to beat the Green Dragon until I was at level 14, but I could have sworn he was beatable at 12. That crossed the line into blatant cheating. I didn't have enough MP left to even attempt to fight him by the time I got right in front of him.Įarlier in the game a MagiWyvern attacked "before I was ready" (bitch, I'm always ready), put me to sleep and beat me to death before I could ever wake up. Imagine the frustration of three to six wasted turns before just killing each enemy. Stopspell became zero percent effective against Armor Knights also. I tried running from everyone at least 3 times and was denied every time. I just did an approach to the Dragon Lord himself and in that final castle floor my run ability was just shut off. I hadn't played this game in years, maybe decades, but I've just picked it and leveled up to 21. Check out the sidebar to explore our network!
