Dungeons & Dragons Collection is a two-disc compilation of the previously released arcade games Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara. It was released only in Japan on March 4, 1999, exclusively for the Sega Saturn. There is a maximum of two players instead of the original four.[1]
It was initially announced that the game would be released for both the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation,[1][2] but the PlayStation version was never completed.
Reception
In 2005, IGN picked the Dungeons & Dragons Collection as one of the top ten co-op games.[3] Retro Gamer included it on their list of ten essential Saturn imports, praising its "stunning animation thanks to using the 4MB ram pack" and opining that "while this does suffer from lengthy loading times, it remains the best scrolling fighter on the system, just beating Taito's delightfully odd PuLiRuLa and Capcom's own Dynasty Warriors. [sic - The Retro Gamer team are confusing Dynasty Warriors with Dynasty Wars.]"[4]
