Dragon Quest III ROM

The game starts in the castle town of Aliahan. Like the rest of the Dragon Quest worlds, this castle is set in a medieval time period, complete with knights and magicians. The party explores several caves, ruins, and castles during the adventure. The geography of Dragon Quest III largely corresponds to the actual geography of Earth, and many towns correspond to their real-world cultures, including “Romaly” for Rome, “Portoga” for Portugal, “Assaram” near present-day Iraq (derived from “as-salamu alaykum”), “Jipang” for Japan (where the hero fights Yamata no Orochi) and even a “New Town” in eastern North America that experiences a revolution against an overbearing ruler (derived from the American Revolution in 1776 when Thirteen British Colonies in North America declared independence to form the United States of America, in protest over the policies of British King George III regarding the Thirteen Colonies).

Dragon Quest III is set many years before the original Dragon Warrior in a world separate from the first two games. A wicked fiend named Baramos threatens to destroy the world. The story revolves around the Hero, son or daughter (the player can choose to be either male or female, with few gameplay changes) of the legendary warrior Ortega. On their sixteenth birthday, the Hero is summoned to the castle and is given by the King of Aliahan the challenge to rid the world of the evil archfiend Baramos, which Ortega attempted in the past but seemingly perished in a volcano. The Hero then is able to recruit up to three traveling companions to help fight Baramos.
