Dragon Quest IV has been sold a bunch of times over the years, on three different systems, so it's naturally had a few different box designs. We thought it might be interesting to show you the boxarts for each iteration of the game. Well, not all of them -- we've omitted stuff like the budget rereleases of the PlayStation version, because they're exactly the same art with a different border.
Out of all the variations, we like the art on the Famicom release the best. It seems the most dynamic and exciting. We think we like the NES version's art the least, because there isn't any.

Akira Toriyama the main artist of the Dragon Quest series, as well as Blue Dragon, is also the artist of DragonBallZ.

That because the series monster and character designs, as well as box art, were by famed Dragon Ball manga artist, Akira Toriyama. just like other Enix & and SquareSoft (now Square Enix) games like Chrono Trigger, Tobal No. 1, Blue Dragon, Dragon Quest Monsters and dragonball games.

I'd go for any boxart that had "Not going to cost you $5-10 more than a normal DS game" on it.

Hey, is that Goku?
No? Is it Crono then?
No? Damn, Toriyama's characters DO look all the same!
