February 04, 2019 Retronauts Episode 198: Dragon Quest XI
Every once in a while, we like to focus our attention on (gasp!) modern games to see how well they've stuck to tradition over the passing decades.

On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, and Henry Gilbert as the crew takes a look at how Dragon Quest XI--the newest entry in the series--thoroughly modernizes its many old-school qualities for one of the best installments of the series to date.

And one remnant from this era managed to sneak over to American shores: the NES port of Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom.
