About this game

"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.

"Aquara" are wings of water that fill the sky. Created by an ancient magician, this mysterious liquid stores magical power... However, when Aquara goes out of control, it causes a tragedy known as the "Great Flood of Quiros." The prosperous magical empire is swallowed up, and dragons lose their voices, the expression of their magical power. But now, a "Dragon Tamer" has appeared, someone who can unleash the dragons' magical power. This also marks the beginning of a fierce battle for the now rare Aquara...
