Dragon Warrior Comics
I have finished Comic 54: This is Real Science Guys! I found the scientific information on some websites, and I learned about some of it in Astronomy. One interesting fact I found out that I didn't put in the comic is that a four-dimensional person could pull a bullet right out of your body from a gunshot wound. They could see your innerds.

Dragon Quest 8
According to the GIA, Yuji Horii (the writer of the Dragon Quest series) believes Dragon Quest 8 won't come out for another 2-3 years.

Lord of the Rings
The first Lord of the Rings movie is out: The Fellowship of the Ring. I saw it and it was probably the best fantasy movie ever made. It is certainly of comparable quality to the original Star Wars trilogy. It has a fantastic storyline, battle, monsters, and magic. It has modest humor, shocking terror, good music, and stunning special effects.

This movie has the most classic storyline you will probably ever experience. It has a mythological moral about willpower, temptation, and humility. The book series it is based on was based on real ancient mythrology translated by the authror: JRR Tolkien.

This movie is made for adults. There is no unrealistic silly banana humor for the kiddies. No Ewoks. No Jar Jar.

If you are a die-hard LOTR fan you will notice there is no Tombombadil. Apperantly 3 hours is not enough time to show the entire book so certain parts were taken out. Tombombadil is a humble man of the woods who saved Frodo and his hobbit companions from undead monsters. Tombombadil is so spiritual that the ring has absolutely no effect on him. Why wasn't he the ring bearer? Only Yoda can tell.

Unlike Star Wars, it does not have Harrison Ford. By sheer luck Star Wars had Harrison Ford in it so it gained +2/+2. It's hard to tell how well the character development will be for until the next two movies come out. So far it seems very well done, but don't expect to see much chemestry between the characters (Han Solo & Princess Leia).

Dragon Warrior Comics
The Dragonlords elaborate plan is continued in... The Dark Truth About Dragon Warrior: Part III! Even though I already gave away the main comic idea in a Dragon Warrior Mystery FAQ about why the hero saved the princess, I'm sure very few of you read it. So... Yeah.


Site Updates
I have several updates to the Images section, such as the new Magic Cards webpage. Next I will work on adding to the Comics FAQ.

Dragon Warrior Comics
You are about to go to a location adjacent to a place. There you may find a clock, a monster, or a broken mirror. You are about to go through the scary door. I have finished Comic 53: The Dragon Warrior Zone.


Dragonlord's Quest
Dragonlord's Quest (build 2.0) is a finished palm pilot remake of the NES version of Dragon Warrior made for Kyle's Quest by Kyle Copeland. It is not an exact clone of Dragon Warrior. It takes place in Alefgard and the overall adventure is the same, but there are different quests and spells. All the graphics was redrawn but greatly resembles the NES version.


Dragon Warrior: The Television Series
www.buyacartoon.com is selling the entire dubbed Dragon Warrior anime series.

Site Construction Update
I've about finished fixing up the html of my site. There are still some technical difficulties so I don't have the ad-free new host right now that I've been preparing for, but I can get it soon. Fortunately making new comics and updating Dragon-Warrior.com properly should no longer be a problem.

Please note that I have updated the FAQs, Fan Games, and Comics sections.

Dragon Quest Monster Charsets
I made some sprites from Dragon Quest 5&6 and even created a couple of my own: a magician and a ghost. I still need many more character sprites of monsters used in any Dragon Warrior game, including Dragon Warrior Monsters. 2 sprites of all directions of movement of each monster is needed to allow them to be used in a Fan Game. I would especially like them of both forms of the Dragonlord, the regular (green) dragon, and the Drakee. Please email them to me as zipped bitmaps or as gif files.


How to Donate a Comic
You may donate your own comics to this site by emailing them to me at mageslime@yahoo.com. I am especially looking for Dragon Quest 5&6 comic ideas. If you are playing Dragon Quest 5 or 6 and think of one just take a screen shot and send me it, your idea, and the name you want to use on the comic and I might make it into a comic for you. This is my way of celebrating the fully playable Dragon Quest 5 and Dragon Quest 6 translations!

A universal way to take screen shots is to press the print screen button, then to paste the image into a program such as MS Paint. You can either save it as a bitmap and zip it or save it as a gif.

Famitsu Dragon Quest 4 Reviews
Dragon Quest 4 for the PlayStation has already been released in Japan and Gekko has translated some of the reviews for the Dragon Warrior & Dragon Quest News Network. Dragon Warrior 4 for the PlayStation will be released in the United States sometime in 2002.

Dragon Warrior in Q-Basic
Fling-Master at HyperRealistic Games has gotten pretty far with his Dragon Warrior remake that uses the NES graphics. He is actually just going to remake Dragon Warrior 1 since it was more time consuming than he expected. The programming is finished, graphics are ripped, 95% of the music is ripped, and all the maps are done. Next he will work on the NPC scripts.
