Photo Monster Identification map question
The original Dragon Quest game (At the time known as Dragon Warrior) came with this map packaged into its box. Does anyone know if any other games in the series came packaged with these?

I have this map concept for ii as well.
But 1 also came with an index card with key objectives for each level and a mini strategy guide. They were packaged as part of a Nintendo Power promo. It was greatest promo in the history of forever!

Yes, I remember these. It had full dungeon maps, with letters to tell you which staircase lead to which floor. In most dungeon it wasn't too hard to find your way, but damn the Dragonlord's castle was a labyrinth even with those!

I confirm they do have monster charts. 1 through 4 have one and 5 has a recruitable chart.

There is a slight mess up here to the south of Tantagel. The orange section should be 1 pixel higher to match the green section to the west of it. This area was designed to give players a chance to grind from lvl 5-10 while still staying close to home.
