Revisiting the Game that Changed RPGs Forever | ProfNoctis Show Ep. 30

This week's episode is all about the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake! As Prof thinks about his time with the game, he examines the key themes of the story, while also considering the lessons that a player can expect to take from their time with it. There's also plenty for those who have no knowledge of Dragon Quest, including an epic diversion involving Michael Bolton. Also, massive thanks to @SquareEnix for providing a copy of the game for us!
