MagusSmurf | 577 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 This looks almost as tedious as actually playing the original Dragon Warrior but the dedication is impressive. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was discussed more in The Legend section, but I believe it was meant to link back to NA's original thread where it all started. That link is now dead. Down at the end though is this... Quote Epilogue We arrive at 500 copies and unlock the collection's second achievement, this website. A tribute to what's to come. For those of you wondering if I'll continue the quest for 1000 copies... Yes, I am still getting copies of Dragon Warrior. Yes, I will take donations. Free is best, $3 is my sweet spot (remember, they used to give this away for free). Updates will simply be made here from now on as new copies arrive. So we collect on, roms alternating current, borne back ceaselessly into the past, and on our way to 1000 copies and becoming a truly epic collection!

RH | 4,895 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I don't know how many of these were produced, but if we know those numbers, you should shoot for 1% of the entire supply. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably really close to accurate. According to Wikipedia, Dragon Warrior/Quest 1 sold 2,000,000 units collectively across all regions for the NES & Famicom and is the 29th best selling game. My hype guide says that 3 to 4 copies sell every single day on eBay. It is the 8th most abundant NES game currently available on eBay trailing behind... Super Mario Bros. 3 (2507 copies) Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt (2289 copies) Tetris (1469 copies) Super Mario Bros. (1272 copies) Super Mario Bros. 2 (1250 copies) Dr. Mario (1218 copies) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1128 copies) Dragon Warrior (985 copies) In contrast, it is the 18th most sold NES game on eBay in the past 90 days. Super Mario Bros. 3 (2096 copies) Super Mario Bros. 2 (1531 copies) Legend of Zelda (1179 copies) Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt (924 copies) Super Mario Bros. (753 copies) Tetris (721 copies) Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (666 copies) Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (642 copies) Metroid (568 copies) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (526 copies) Contra (497 copies) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game (485 copies) Final Fantasy (378 copies) Dr. Mario (367 copies) Excitebike (360 copies) Castlevania (359 copies) Mega Man 2 (348 copies) Dragon Warrior (334 copies) If AND ONLY IF The 2,000,000 figure is correct, then if he were to purchase 20,000 copies of Dragon Warrior (regardless of region) he'll own 1% of the supply ever made.

Well 1.5 million of those were sales of Dragon Quest in Japan, so to have an accurate 1% of 2 million, he'd need 5000 copies of Dragon Warrior and 15,000 copies of Dragon Quest. Just saying... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
