The Descendant of Edrick.


This is my submission to the first (or second, who can keep track) international show sponsored by the Autumn Society of Philadelphia. The title of said show is '8 Bit Champions' and, as is suggested by the title, is comprised solely of works paying homage to the late, great era of 8-Bit gaming.

The game I chose was Dragon Quest, or, if you grew up here, Warrior, which was literally my first foray into the realm of RPG's. It was also the first video game I got that wasn't Super Mario Bros., which came bundled with my NES console. And as a bonus, I got it for free with my subscription to Nintendo Power, a subscription which I almost wholeheartedly blame for my current, adult addiction to reading endlessly about videogames.

YES! congrats! and what a selection! this must've been THE giveaway game for Nintendo but i'm so glad. pretty sure i got mine as a mail-away from a cereal box. typical RPG experience for me (a la Zelda): bored and frustrated, tossed aside, picked up again, and obsessed until lovingly beat. ah, the various slimes...

This was one of my favorite pieces from the show. Great job on it.
