That’s how I got mine too! I had forgotten all about that fact until now.

Thanks Nintendo Power for this free game for subscribing. I must have played through 10+ times as a kid and a few times as an adult. One of my favorite games.

I remember the ad. I had no idea what a “Game Pak” was so I never took advantage of the offer. Seemed too good to be true if that meant an actual game.

This is how I got it. The only issue is I didn’t really understand how I was supposed to play the game so I would just run randomly about and die. Never made any progress but I remember it fondly.

This map and the guide all came in Nintendo Power.

My best friend had it. We spent a lot of time playing it! Also Zelda and Zelda II. Dragon Warrior was always my favorite, though.

I found it at a retro store when I was in college. I was collecting NES games at the time and would by anything with “dragon” in the name. Definitely worth the price, though getting it for free sounds great!

Same. That weird free game started a lifelong appreciation for the genre.
