Now the boy is six years old, and Papas brings him to his hometown.
After some time, they learn that Henry, the prince of Reinhart, was kidnapped by bandits.
Papas and his son attempt to rescue him, but this only leads to a tragic event and the boy's imprisonment.
Only many years later will the hero discover who or what his father was searching for, and come to realize his own role in the events that dictate the fate of the world.
Dragon Quest V is a Japanese-style role-playing game with random enemy encounters and turn-based combat viewed from first-person perspective.
Though the party only includes three active human combatants, the game allows the player to recruit monsters into it.
Some of the enemies will randomly request to join the party.
The player can then add them to the roster and use them in battles, where they behave just like any other combatant, using their own abilities and even leveling up.
The game follows the story of Papas' son stretched over many years, from his childhood to adulthood.
The player will be able to choose a wife for the main character from two available female characters.
This decision influences some of the subsequent events and features.
The hero eventually becomes a parent, and his new family plays a pivotal role in the plot.
About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks DRAGON QUEST V for Super 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 DRAGON QUEST V 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 SNES release dates back to 1992.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for DRAGON QUEST V, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Super Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
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.
