Today I came across this website that has a list of the 100 best NES games ever, and Dragon Warrior 3 was number 29. I basically devoted my entire youth to playing every Dragon Warrior game there ever was. Most kids aged 10 - 13 found these games incredibly slow and boring, but I, being the super geek that I was absolutely loved them. Check out what this guy had to say about the game. The part that I bolded about metal slimes is just sooooo true and funny:
"Dragon Warrior is an incredible RPG series, but it's also an underappreciated one. Very few people I know bought these games, which is probably why Dragon Warrior III and Dragon Warrior IV are the only legal cartridges I know of that still sell for about $40-50. If you've never known the sheer elation of encountering 8 metal slimes or the crushing disappointment of watching 7 of them run away before you kill them, I suggest you find a means to play this game immediately."
