Dragon, first issue 1976, is one of the two official magazines for source material for the Dungeons & Dragonsrole-playing game.
Each issue has a number of articles about Prestige Classes, races, Monsters and many other subjects that can be used to enhance a Dungeons & Dragons game. It also sometimes discusses meta-gaming issues, such as getting along with fellow players.
A regular feature of Dragon has been its "Ecology of ..." articles, in which a D&D monster gets a tongue-in-cheek scientific treatment, explaining how they find food, reproduce, and so forth.
Many of the gaming world's best writers, game designers and artists have published work in the magazine.
In 2002, Paizo Publishing (http://www.paizo.com/) acquired the rights to publish Dragon under license from Wizards of the Coast.
Dungeon is a sister magazine which publishes pre-written playtested adventures to be used in a D&D game.

Dragon Force is a cross between an RPG and a turn-based strategy title.
And despite the simplistic graphics, Dragon Force presents some amazing visuals with up to 100 enemies on the screen at the same time going at it with a camera that can zoom in and out to see the huge battle in all its glory.
