One person’s quest (get it?) to accumulate a ‘Mega Collection’ of NES games has finally been achieved. FerrisonNA<\/a> \u2014 who also goes by the username Ferris Bueller \u2014 is the proud owner of one thousand copies of the original Dragon Quest<\/a> on the NES. Or, Dragon Warrior<\/strong> as it was known in the west back in 1989.<\/p>\n

FerrisonNA (real name Christian Deitering) has been chronicling his journey to collect a huge number of copies of the NES RPG over on his website, The Unorthodox Dragon Warrior Collection<\/a>. And a new update made earlier today (and shared on Twitter<\/a>) revealed that the collector \u2014 who was the producer of the Mother To Earth: The Untold Story of Earth Bound<\/strong><\/a> documentary \u2014 has finally hit a milestone of one thousand copies.<\/p>\n

This frankly incredible feat has been a long-standing challenge in the retro-gaming community, starting way back in 2012 on the (now defunct) NintendoAge forums. One user, K3VBOT, shared that he was given the opportunity to buy out an old game store, but then someone else, Max Velocity, spotted lots of copies of the Jurassic Park<\/a> game on SNES. Cue requests for photos, and a spark of inspiration for someone known as Space Jockey decided that he wanted to start up his own giant collection of retro cartridges. His game of choice? Dragon Warrior on the NES.<\/p>\n
