Dragon Ball 3: Goku-den

About

Dragon Ball 3: Goku-den is a role playing video game released only in Japan by Bandai. It is the third Dragon Ball video game for Famicom (its predecessors being Dragon Ball: Shenron no Nazo and Dragon Ball: Daimaou Fukkatsu). Its sequel is Dragon Ball Z: Kyoushuu! Saiyan.

You control Son Goku and his friends Krillin and Yamcha in this game. The gameplay is mostly based on training your characters and then taking them to fight enemies, advancing the plot. All the activities in the game (including walking around on the world map) are performed through choosing one of the available cards. Depending on the value of the card, you can move a certain amount of squares on the map, have an advantage in a battle, etc.

Storyline

The Great Demon King Piccolo, who seeks world domination, sees the “Tenkaichi Budokai” —where powerful martial artists gather— as a threat and destroys it.

To restore the “Tenkaichi Budokai,” Goku sets out on a journey in search of the Dragon Balls.
