Reaperman

I hated it too. I played the ones required for the main story and never played it again. I do this with lots of in game mini games though... No, I don't want to play Gwent in Witcher, Poker in Red Dead Redemption, Pazaak in KotOR, or go Bowling with my cousin. I do somewhat enjoy the fishing mini games in games like Zelda OoT or Breath of Fire 3, though... /shrug

DWIII was one of the best I've yet played. Use the GB color port if you can.

GBC? I tried DQ I+II (I think that one) on gbc once, and had to restart on SNES after missing some map items I was probably supposed to see on the edges of the screen that were cut off. I think got bored and quit during the catch-up on that.
