Dragon Quest (apenas cartucho)

The map that came with it is essential for navigating the world, and the cartridge itself is in great shape for its age. It's a solid piece of RPG history that plays perfectly on my Famicom.

I was worried about battery corrosion, but this cartridge booted up on the first try and the label is surprisingly vibrant for its age. The save battery even held a file from decades ago, which was a nice bonus. It's exactly the classic RPG grind I was hoping to relive.

Popped this in the Famicom and the label's still crisp, even the save battery held up for a quick session. The grind is brutal but that old-school pull on the heartstrings is exactly why I wanted a physical copy for the vault. Cart only, no manual, but it's preserved the way it should be.
