Dragon Wars adapts the Interplay CRPG on Activision NES, spiritual sequel to Bard's Tale with its adventurer group exploring the forbidden city of Phoebus. The representation offers first person view, turn based combat and rich item list in a classic western CRPG formula. Honest for NES RPG fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Activision PC adapted catalog.

Collector interest

Famicom port of Interplay's post-apocalyptic RPG, a Bard's Tale descendant, kept to Japan while the original lived on Western home computers. A late Western RPG appearing on Famicom is a catalog curiosity that draws collectors of obscure ports. Its strong CIB valuation rests on the scarcity of the boxed Japanese release rather than any renown the cartridge version earned on its own.
