Last week, i decided to replay Dragon Warrior 1. I used cheat codes to give me infinite money and quick leveling, to remove the grind. Took about 4 hours to play the whole thing (got to level 26 of 30). Then I found out the game has 4 endings. I always assumed it was just 2. The 2 I knew of was accepting the Dragon Lord's offer to join him, and beating him after having completed all other content.

This is it, the RPG that I got free with my Nintendo Power Magazine subscription and forever hooked me on role playing games. It was a game that seems and plays basic but it was so challenging for its time.
Do I explore further or do I stay behind and get more xp?
Did I risk entering the dungeon now or do I wait to upgrade more armor?
Do I explore left or do I head right?

The journey begins!!

Never played it, so I will go totally blindness.

I cropped what I thought was a perfect header image for my profile based on the 1500x500px instructions/constraints, and yet it looks different on every device. Oh well, I think y'all get the idea. Clever, right??

Who else got Dragon Warrior for free from Nintendo as a kid simply for subscribing to Nintendo Power?

I didn’t even know games like that existed. Nintendo birthed a love of RPGs (especially turn based ones) that I still have to this day just by giving out a game for free.
