A Dragon Quest roguelike spin-off entrusted to Chunsoft, where the merchant Torneko delves into randomly generated dungeons, never released outside Japan. This Mystery Dungeon lineage makes it sought by fans of Japanese roguelikes and by saga collectors alike. Its small local run and lack of localization support a value well above more widely distributed spin-offs.
