About this game
Having heard of the legend of the hero Raru, a young swordsman decides to go on a quest to also become a hero.
On his way, he stops at an inn in the town of Hyuma.

When he wakes up, the town is in turmoil; walls have erected on all sides, and the only way to the outside world is an underground passage...
Deep Dungeon III is a first-person RPG, the first game in the Deep Dungeon series to feature a four-member party.
The player now has the choice of three characters of one of the three available classes - ranger, magician and priest - to accompany the swordsman on his quest.
These companions may die in combat, and can only be replaced if the player encounters new ones while exploring.
If the swordsman is defeated, however, the game is over.
The game starts in the town of Hyuma, where the player explores to find the passageway to the undergrounds, visiting the town's shops along the way.
The game features the same mechanics added in Deep Dungeon II : upon leveling-up, the player attributes points to the character's stats, and when the character's level is too high for the monsters on a dungeon's floor, there are no more random battles.
The game has a number of dungeons to explore, as opposed to only one in the previous installments.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Deep Dungeon III for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Deep Dungeon III to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1988.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Deep Dungeon III has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
