What the hell is Dragon Quest?

Dragon Quest V: Bride of Heaven (1992, SNES)
This gaming gem has never been released in the US, and features a secret dungeon at the end of the game which needs completing to see the end proper. Horii, you little devil.

Dragon Quest VI: Great Land of Illusion (1995, SNES)
The first to feature animated monsters and an in-depth class combining system. You also get to ride a flying bed. Best. Vehicle. Ever.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (2004, PS2)
Features an evil jester- instantly brilliant in our books.
