…Dragon Quest 3. Originally released on the NES in 1991, it saw releases on the SNES and Gameboy Advanced, and more recently, iOS and Android. It sold over a million copies on the first day of release in Japan, with over 300 arrests for truancy among students absent from school to purchase the game. With… Read more

Dragons. They are the one mythical creature that seems to transcend all cultures. Every culture seems to both revere and fear these giant creatures.
