The results of the 50th "NES People's Poll" "What do you think of the sea/ship? The results of the 50th "NES National Poll" have been announced, and the top 20 are now available on the NES 40th Anniversary Campaign website! The upcoming July 15, 2024 (Monday, national holiday) will be this year's "Sea Day," and above all, summer is all about the sea! And when we think of the sea, we think of boats! The theme is perfect for this time of year! The sea and ships appear in games of various genres, including RPGs in which ships are the means of transportation on the sea, action games in which stages take place on the sea or on ships, and shooting games in which the ship is the player's ship. The top game in this category was " Dragon Quest II:Gods of Evil Spirits " with 16% of the total votes cast! The fact that the two were not tied for first place, despite having the same percentage of votes, suggests that "Dragon Quest II: Gods of Evil Spirits" was favored by a small number of votes. Ships are well-known as sea travelers in RPGs, but they made their first appearance in the Dragon Quest series in "Dragon Quest II: Gods of Evil Spirits. Many people probably have strong memories of the first appearance of the ship in the "Dragon Quest" series, as the range of travel expands dramatically after the ship is acquired and full-scale adventures begin. I also voted for " Dragon Quest III: And to the Legend " (No. 4), " Dragon Quest IV: The Leading Men " (No. 13), and all the numbered titles released on the NES except the first "Dragon Quest" in which the ship does not appear. The fact that all of the numbered titles released on the Famicom (NES) were ranked in the list shows the strength of the "Dragon Quest" series. In second place was "HIGEMARU Makaijima: The Seven Islands Adventure," an action-adventure game that takes place on a pirate ship or island, so this time it is a game that takes place on a stage. The third-place winner, "The Age of Exploration," is a simulation, and the fifth-place winner, "The Mississippi Murder Case," is a mystery adventure game.
