Dragon Games to Play

Console Gaming

• Because there are so many, it's impossible to count how many video games star or include dragons. Still, some stand out more than others, showcasing the giant, mythical monsters as the star attraction. Dragon games range from rail shooters such as Panzer Dragoon to full-out adventure RPGs (role playing games) like Breath of Fire.

  For a more cartoonish venture into the world of dragons, try games from the Spyro the Dragon series. Available across a number of platforms including all PlayStation consoles, XBox and even the Nintendo DS, the Spyro franchise has been giving gamers dragon-based platforming action since the late 1990s.

Look Online

• The Internet is also a great resource for someone looking to play a dragon game. With a number of free-to-play titles that can be run right in your browser, you can try Dragon Metal Age, Dragon Hunt, Gordy's Lunch and many more. Since many of these online games are Flash games, they won't cost you a dime to play and can be run on any computer with a Flash player (which is also free).

Board Games

• If you're looking for an alternative dragon game that doesn't require a PC, Mac or expensive video game console, gather some of your friends and try a board game.

  Dungeons &Dragons is the ultimate role-playing board game, putting you in charge of the story and adventure as you roll the dice and explore the map before you.

  You can also try Dragon's Gold, which puts you in a team that is actually hunting a dragon. You then go on to defeat the monster and divvy up the spoils, making for an excellent adventure if you have friends to share it with.
