Dragon Chronicle

About

"Dragon Chronicles" is an arcade game released by Namco (now Bandai Namco Games) in 2003. It was the first game to feature a "Rewritable Stage" cabinet with a touch panel. Players raise dragons and battle other players. Information is recorded on magnetic cards, allowing for continued play. The game has undergone two major updates: "Densetsu no Master Ark"(Legendary Master Ark), which added new elements, in 2004, and the final version, "Tenku dai-kessen"(Sky Decisive Battle), which supported nationwide online battles, was released at the end of the same year. Online service ended on January 7, 2008. After the online service ended, only local battles were possible in-store, although some stores still allowed battles until 2020.
