until sometime last year. I call it Totally Not Dungeon Explorer III, and aim to pick up a copy. A Super Famicom port of II aside, the DS and PSP would be the final homes for Dungeon Explorer with 2008's NA release of Warriors of Ancient Arts. 2/?

The first game is a solid arcade Gauntlet clone (a series which has trod down a similar path) with the second game receiving some high praise and an even higher aftermarket price tag. The first title nailed an arcade feel with quick gameplay and a ready amount of monsters to plow through. 3/?
