  • Dragon Questing V Part VI [GO]

    There’s a rather interesting mechanic in play with Dragon Quest V and, while it wasn’t pioneered in Dragon Quest V, I think that it fits in well with the family theme of DQV. After Dan became an adult, he acquires a horse named Dusty and a wagon. This wagon holds the hero’s excess party when […]

  • Dragon Questing V Part V [GO]

    As if to drive home the need for a companion, Dan is now left completely alone on his quest thanks to Harry’s departure.
