Dragon Ball: Daimaou Fukkatsu
The first in a series of adventure-RPG adaptations of the world of the manga and anime Dragon Ball. It takes place during the "King Piccolo Saga" arc of the series and features a unique card-based system for both exploration and combat.
Overview
Dragon Ball: Daimaou Fukkatsu (loosely translated to "Dragon Ball: Revival of the Great Demon King") is a sci-fi fantasy adventure-RPG developed by TOSE and published by Bandai for the Famicom exclusively in Japan on August 12, 1988.
The sequel to Dragon Ball: Shenron no Nazo, Daimaou Fukkatsu changes the formula to a text-based adventure game with a unique card-based system (where players use a randomly-generated hand of cards for both map movement and battle). This system was expanded on with its sequels (starting with Dragon Ball 3: Gokuuden and ending with Dragon Ball Z Gaiden: Saiyajin Zetsumetsu Keikaku).
The story is a loose adaptation of the "King Piccolo Saga" arc of the original series, taking place four years after the canonical events of the first game. After participating in the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, teenage martial artist Goku (Character) finds his best friend dead and his Dragon Ball stolen by the forces of the Great Demon King Piccolo. Players control Goku as he searches for all seven Dragon Balls to defeat Piccolo.
It was later included in the 2013 Nintendo 3DS compilation J Legend Retsuden (along with other Famicom games in the series).
