I wanted to add that I beat DragonQuest III on GBC a couple weeks ago. I've already commented a bunch on how it fares as a portable incarnation of a tentpole RPG. As a GBC title it really does succeed at bringing a "big" RPG down to portable size with minimal sacrifice for most RPG fans, and it's fascinating how it does, in some ways, feel a little compromised over the original NES version while, at the same time, being much more advanced via some of what it inherits from the SNES remake. It is really an interesting set of tradeoffs.
