Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Tara's Adventure is a role-playing game for the Game Boy Color released as part of a dual-title strategy similar to Pokémon. Players capture and train various monsters, with certain creatures available exclusively in this version. The game later saw a re-release alongside its predecessor on PlayStation and was remade for the 3DS, though only in Japan.
Dragon Quest Monsters 2 followed Pokemon's strategy of releasing 2 games with exclusive monsters that would need to be traded between versions to collect them all.
The games were later re-released along with the first Dragon Quest Monsters as a compilation for the PlayStation and the games were later remade for the 3DS, but only in Japan.
