Dragon Power—or Shen Long no Nazo if you're playing the original Japanese version—is one of those weird NES adaptations where they scrubbed all the Dragon Ball references for Western audiences. You play as Goku (renamed "Kid" here) punching and kicking through side-scrolling stages, hunting for the Dragon Balls. The controls are stiff, but there's something charming about how it captures early Dragon Ball's goofy energy—like when you're hopping between floating islands or fighting giant rabbits.
It's rough around the edges, but if you grew up with the manga or just love retro beat 'em ups, it's a neat little time capsule. Just don't expect anything close to the later DBZ games.
