Top 5 Dragon Quest Games (main line only)

5. Dragon Quest III (played on Switch, PS5)
Now I haven't finished this yet. And while I didn't really feel like going too far with it on the Switch, I'm having a lot of fun with the HD 2D remake on PS5. But I haven't finished it yet, so for now it'll have to take the bottom entry.

4. Dragon Quest IX (played on DS)
The story is a bit lighter on this one than on some of my other favorite DQ games. But that's probably because you build your entire team from the ground up. And while VIII also had enemies on the map vs random encounters, I didn't play that one until later. So this is not only the first DQ game I played like that, but the first JRPG I ever played like that.

3. Dragon Quest I (played on NES, iOS, Switch)
Yes it's archaic by today's standards. There's more story in the instruction manual than in the actual game. But I still have very fond memories of getting this game for free with my subscription to Nintendo Power. It was unlike any game at the time. If not for getting this for free with Nintendo Power, I probably never would have played it. In turn, I probably never would have gotten into JRPGs in general, let alone Funal Fantasy and the other DQ games in particular. I owe a lot of my present taste in games to this cart here.

2. Dragon Quest XI S (Played on PS4 [DQ XI] and PS5 [DQ XI S]
This one has it all:great graphics, great story, multi-platform availability even today. Jade is easily my favorite party member. If you've never played this or any other DQ game before, play this game...seriously!

1. Dragon Quest V (played on DS, iOS)
After the original Dragon Warrior game for the NES, I never even saw any of the others. I just never saw II or III. I don't think any others even made it stateside until DQ VIII and I didn't have a PS2 at the time.

So when I saw this at the local Game Stop for the DS, all the nostalgia for the original Dragon Warrior came flooding back.

This still remains my top favorite. I could kick myself for selling it after completing it. Now I only have the iOS version. I also have a Super Famicom version, but I don't have a Super Famicom and don't really want to mod my childhood SNES to play it...especially since it would be in Japanese anyway and I can't read Ja

I love how the story branches three generations. I love how you choose your love interest. I love the connection this game makes you feel to each of the characters.

I want so badly for this to see a re-release on a console so I can see it on my big screen. I'd be ecstatic for an untouched port of the DS game. I'd be over the moon for a HD 2D remake.

Also, I wish Dragon Quest Your Story had a physical release in the states. I watched it once on Netflix, but really rather not restart my subscription just for that.

Top 20 Masters of the Universe Toys I Own or Have Owned:


20. Castle Grayskull
Seriously? How dare I put the Castle Grayskull at the bottom of this list. Well, to be fair, there are a lot of MotU toys that didn't even make the list. So breaking the Top 20 isn't bad. But the thing is, I never had this as a kid. It may have been central to the show that I always used to watch, but as a toy , I never had the nostalgia for it. And now that I have it now, it's done little more than sit there and take up a LOT of space. I also have never been that much into playsets. I've always been about the characters. Still, it is a cool thing to have and it is central to the lore. So it does squeak by onto the list.

19. Roboto
Honestly kinda feel like I'm padding this. The only thing this had going for it was the interchangeable hands and the moving gears in the chest when you move the waist. It's kind of a cool toy. It was just cool enough to make it onto the list. But honestly, there's much better stuff coming up.

18. Ram Man
I never had him as a kid. But I did get the Origen version and I always did like any toy that would spring up off the ground. Don't know why. Just the stupid animal side of my brain that's easily amused, I suppose.

17. Leech
This is another one I didn't have as a kid. But I did get a vintage toy from eBay as well as the Origins version. I think I like the vintage more. I don't know if the suction cup actually was any more powerful, but the button that actually drew out the air to create the suction sure made it feel more impressive.

16. Screech
I had one as a kid and now I also have an Origins version. They're both very similar. I don't know what made this stand out so much for me, but it's just one of those toys I always enjoyed having.

15. Battle Cat
Maybe if I had this as a kid, it would rate higher. But much like Grayskull, it he had a central part in the show, but never having had the toy as a kid, I just don't have the same nostalgia for the toy. Still, this beats out other toys that I did own and have nostalgia for. So that much count for something.

14. Strider
This was only one of two vehicles I owned as a kid. It was also the first one I owned. I seem to remember I either got this for my birthday or for Christmas. I want to say Christmas, but I'm really not sure. But anyways, it was my first MotU vehicle and I love it.

13. Bashasaurus
This was the second vehicle I owned. Push the button and the hammer goes smash, hehehe! What can I say? It was fun running over all the bad guys with this thing.

12. She-Ra
I never had a She-Ra toy as a kid. The Origins just didn't have much in common with how she was shown in the cartoon either. But there were a few toys (Classics, Masterverse) that looked pretty good. And being the main character from the other side of the MotU line, I simply had to get at least some version of her. I have a few now.

11. Teela
Pretty basic character. She doesn't have any real gimmicks and only a couple accessories. But she is one of my favorite characters and, aside from Masterverse, I tend to get as many of her figures as I can.

10. Catra
Not so much the vintage toy from the She-Ra toy line. I looks at that toy and I hardly even see how that counts as a Cart. But I do have a Classics and a Masterverse version. I'll be honest, I mostly only care about this one because the heterochromia of the Netflix version caught my eye (no pun intended). The mask is also kinda cool. I didn't really care much for the Netflix show, but I did like that design and wish I could find that toy at a reasonable price. But as for the ones that I do have, they're pretty cool. Every toy line needs a fem-fatale.

09. Skeletor
I have a hard time pinning down what version I like. I like the Terror Claws accessories, but not the general look of the toy. Thanks to the mix and match properties of the Origins line, I wound up making my own Ultimate version of Skeleton with: Battle Armor body, Terror Claws hands, Keldor's cape and Keldor's extra head. There really wasn't a single best Skeleton version, but boom! Make you're own best version! Origins rocks!

08. Grizzlor
I had this one as a kid and it was soft and fuzzy. Soft and fuzzy counts for something. I have the Origins version now. That's really all I have to say about this one.

07. Mantenna
I didn't have this one as a kid. But I did get a vintage one from a vintage toy store as well as the Origins version at (I think) Target. I'm sure from here on out one thing you'll notice is that I like me some gimmicks. I like this one because of the eye gimmick. That's it. That's why it's on this list. I liked the gimmick.

06. Horde Trooper
I was bored out of my mind the first time I ever went to a Sam's Club. Their toy isle was small and lacking. But they did have this. I clutched that thing for dear life as I followed my parents in absolute, mind numbing boredom as I went through the Sam's Club. That memory has stuck with me. That's why it because one of my top favorites. Also the whole "push the button to make it fall apart" gimmick was kinda cool too.

05. Mosquitor
When you're a young boy, you love gross things. It's part of being a young boy. So you have a toy where you push a button and see blood pumping down through a window on the characters chest...what can be cooler than that?

04. Man E Faces
When I was a kid, I had a thing about having multiple toys in one. That's why I liked transformers so much. My brother only got a car whenever he got a Hot Wheels toy. Meanwhile I got a car and a robot. It's a twofer. So with Man E Faces, you have a human, a robot and a monster. It just fit right in. It was awesome!

03. Two Bad
This is another total nostalgia thing. I went golfing with my father. Actually, my father went golfing. I sat on the cart in the hot afternoon sun with only my Two Bad to keep me entertained as I sweated out the game. Ever since that moment, I have absolutely loved Two-Bad. I wish there was more to it. But that's really it. it was trauma bonding.

02. Power Punch He-Man
Thing with pop-caps were so awesome back in the day. Robocop had a toy line that used those paper strip caps. There were toy guns that used the ring caps. So, yeah, I have to admit, the fact that this toy used the ring-caps is what made this so cool. I had a Battle Armor He-Man as well as a Spinning Fists He-Man. But this was always my favorite and it was simply because it used those caps. Those things were cool. It's a darn shame they're so rare in toys these days.

01. Buzzsaw Hordak
So there was this thing with toy commercials back in the day. The toy lines were always trying to outdo themselves. Dinobots were cool. But according to the show and the commercials, Devastator can easily beat the Dinobots. Devestator's cool. You want him, right? Well, what about the Aerialbots. They're more powerful than even Devestator. You want them, right? Well, the Predacons can beat them...but Skylynx can beat them. Well, I guess I was a stupid kid, because of course Buzzsaw Hordak was more powerful than Hurricane Hordak. There was no greater threat than Buzzsaw Hordak. And as far as I can remember, that's kinda where I left off with the line before growing out of it. If you were to own any Hordak toy, it had to be Buzzsaw. And you know what? I fell for it so hard that even after all these years, Buzzsaw Hordak is still my uncontested favorite of the entire MotU line.

So . . . . back when I worked at the Prison, I decided to have some fun with staff and asked for songs that reminded people of the work, the people, and the situations we've had to deal with. The response was impressive. Staff from literally every department in the prison, even admin, contributed at least one song. Some of these reference some *very special people and special situations. Most of them show just how much we did not enjoy our working environment. But, most are really funny. Enjoy.

Due to the size of the list, I've broken this up into a few posts.
