Dragon Ball: Dragon Daihikyō (ドラゴンボール ドラゴン大秘境, Doragon Bōru: Dragon Daihikyō, Dragon Ball: Dragon's Great Exploration) The first Dragon Ball video game ever produced. It was released by Epoch, making it the only game not to feature any kind of involvement with Bandai or the subsequent Namco Bandai. The game is an overhead shoot'em up that allows players to take on the role of Goku who rides on the Nimbus while firing Ki blasts and swatting at enemies with his Power Pole.

• Known in Japan as Dragon Ball: Shenlong no Nazo (ドラゴンボール 神龍の謎, Doragon Bōru: Shenron no Nazo, Shenlong's Riddle), in Europe as Dragon Ball: Le Secret du Dragon, the game was developed by Tose and released by Bandai in 1986. The game stars Goku and very roughly follows the first two volumes of the Dragon Ball manga, culminating in the first wish from Shenlong. The game consists of 2D overhead areas where Goku must fight many enemies and side scrolling sequences for the boss fights. It was added as bonus feature in the Japanese release of Dragon Ball: Origins 2 in 2010.

• In the USA the game is known as Dragon Power. Although the Japanese, French and Spanish editions of the game used the familiar art and music from the Dragon Ball anime, the US version is stated to be based on Journey to the West with no mention of Dragon Ball.[18] Goku was changed to more closely resemble an Americanized Kung Fu stereotype, being pictured on the box with a white gi and blue headband. Master Roshi has been similarly changed to look more like a traditional martial arts master. Bulma is called "Nora", Yamcha is called "Lancer", Oolong is called "Pudgy", Pilaf is called "King Minos", the Kamehameha is the "Wind Wave", and the Dragon Balls are referred to as "Crystalballs". Also, the game has been shortened; all levels that correspond with the Kung-Fu Tournament halfway through the game have been removed. Furthermore, all perverted references have been censored out; for instance, the "girl's panties" power-up (which temporarily makes Goku run fast) now resembles a triangle-cut sandwich.
• The European version, released in France in 1990[19] (and in Spain in late 1993),[20][21] retains the Dragon Ball license and characters for the game albeit with the same censorship found in the American adaptation regarding the perverted content. In France, it was the first NES game translated into French. However this translation includes a lot of misspellings. In Spain, the game was also released in French language, although the Spanish version specifically featured box description and instruction manual translations in Spanish language.

Dragon Ball: Daimaō Fukkatsu (ドラゴンボール大魔王復活, Doragon Bōru Daimaō Fukkatsu, lit. Dragon Ball: Great Demon King's Revival) was released in Japan for the Famicom on August 12, 1988 by Bandai. It takes place during the King Piccolo arc. It was one of the first games to have a board game, which included battles using cards. The battle card games are a hybrid of role playing games, board games and trading cards. The players move around a game board and encounter characters on the way. Some characters offer information and others need to be battled. The outcome of each fight is determined by the randomly generated hand of cards players and the opponent are dealt. The player flips over cards in a certain order, and their actions are shown in an animated battle that lasts until one of the characters is defeated.

The game topped the Japanese sales charts in August 1988,[22] and again in September and October 1988.[22][23]

It was released by Bandai on October 27, 1990 in Japan. The game features Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta, two illusion Saiyans who fight Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo, Gohan and Krillin in the anime, and an original who transforms into a Giant Ape.

The game topped the Japanese Famitsu sales chart in February 1992.[25]

Dragon Ball Z II: Gekishin Frieza!! (ドラゴンボールZII 激神フリーザ!!, Doragon Bōru Zetto Tsū Gekishin Furīza!!, Dragon Ball Z II: Frieza the Fierce God!!) was released by Bandai on August 10, 1991 in Japan for the Famicom. The game features the story on Namek and follows closely to the story in the anime except for the fact that, like in the previous game, Tienshinhan, Yamcha and Chaozu are not dead but are present in the player's party at the beginning.

Dragon Ball Z: Chō Saiya Densetsu (ドラゴンボールZ 超サイヤ伝説, Doragon Bōru Zetto Chō Saiya Densetsu, Dragon Ball Z: Legend of the Super Saiyan), also known as Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu (ドラゴンボールZ スーパーサイヤでんせつ, Doragon Bōru Zetto Sūpā Saiya Densetsu), is the first Dragon Ball game for the Super Famicom.

The game was unique in that it came with a special card reader attachment, the Datach Joint Rom System, which required several character cards to be swiped in order to select a character.

Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden (ドラゴンボールZ 超武闘伝 (スーパーぶとうでん), Doragon Bōru Zetto Sūpā Butōden, Dragon Ball Z: Super Fighting Story) is the first installment in the Super Butōden series.

Dragon Ball Z Gaiden: Saiyajin Zetsumetsu Keikaku (ドラゴンボールZ外伝 サイヤ人絶滅計画, Doragon Bōru Zetto Gaiden Saiyajin Zetsumetsu Keikaku, Dragon Ball Z Side Story: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans) was released for the Famicom on August 6, 1993.[27] Gameplay takes the form of a card battle RPG, where the player's movement and battle choices are dictated by the randomly generated playing cards the player receives. Multiplayer is a six player tournament using difficulty level of computer players that are in the save file. Players can choose between Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks and Vegeta. Winner records are kept in the game data, as well as any moves the player might learn.

The game follows, Dr. Lychee, a survivor of the Tuffle race annihilated by the Saiyans. Lychee manages to escape from the planet with a ship containing Hatchhyackku, a super computer able to create "Ghost images" of other warriors, though he is killed soon after. Hatchhyackku creates a ghost image of him to get revenge on the surviving Saiyans. He places machines that emit a gas capable of destroying life on Earth, so Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Future Trunks, and Piccolo rush to destroy the devices located around the planet. They manage to destroy all but one that is protected by an impenetrable energy barrier and guarded by ghost warriors of Frieza, Cooler, Turles, and Lord Slug, which have to be killed in the same way as the originals. They eventually track down Lychee, defeat him, and learn of Hatchhyackku, who absorbs Lychee's hatred and materializes in an android body. Hatchhyackku devastates the heroes until the Saiyans, after having transformed into their Super Saiyan states, combine their powers together into one massive wave of energy, ending the threat of the ghost warriors.

Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 2 (ドラゴンボールZ 超武闘伝 (スーパーぶとうでん)2, Doragon Bōru Zetto Sūpā Butōden Tsū, Dragon Ball Z: Super Fighting Story 2), called Dragon Ball Z: la Légende Saien in France and in Spain (although it was translated as Dragon Ball Z: La Leyenda de Saien for the Spanish instruction manual), is the second installment in the Super Butōden series. The game was released in Japan on December 17, 1993 and in France and Spain in June 1994.[29][30] Super Butōden 2 features 10 playable characters (In the Japanese version are 8 normal, 2 unlockable with a code) and its story mode covers the Cell Games as well as several stories involving Bojack, Zangya, and Broly completely unrelated to the movies they hail from. For unknown reasons, these three characters were renamed Kujila, Aki, and Tara in the French version, respectively.

Depending on if the player wins or loses a battle, the story will take a different turn in the Story Mode, which leads to a lot of possibilities to experience.

This is the only Dragon Ball Z fighting game [31] in which Goku is not readily playable. A code is required in the Japanese version to unlock him and Broly, the other hidden character. This is not necessary in the European versions, as both characters are already unlocked.

The game is similar to other fighters but features 3D environments and characters from the Z and GT series of Dragon Ball franchise. Unique in the game were the special ki attacks called a Special Knockout Trick. These were the spectacular versions of the character's ki attacks the player performed at a distance. When these attacks are performed, the camera would cut and pan to the attacking character who would power up and the player would fire. During the attacking character's power up, the opposing character would be giving the opportunity to either retaliate or block upon the moment the word counter would flash on the lower right hand corner of the screen. If the player chose to retaliate, they too would power up and fire a ki attack causing a power crossfire which the camera would go around both characters à la bullet time. Depending on which player is pressing their button the fastest would determine who would receive the brunt of the blast. Another feature which was carried over from Legends, was a technique called Meteor Smash. With a key combo, players could ignite a chain of mêlée attacks.
