5/10. (played both NES and DS. NES objectively deserves lower for that horrible forced AI in chapter 5, but I game genie'd it away so they end up around the same to me)
Pretty good for a Dragon Quest game (not a series I like). I think the multiple chapters are quite charming and it has enough challenge to hold my interest in that old-school NES way. Probably the second best RPG for that system. That said, giving high scores to NES RPGs isn't happening from me.
