Dungeons & Dragons Collection is a 2-disc compilation of the previously released arcade games Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara. It was released in Japan in March 4, 1999 on the Sega Saturn.

Due to the limitations of the Saturn there is a maximum of two players instead of the original four. As there are some doors and events which require the game to have more than two people playing the game (such as the special ability Final Strike), there may have been changes to the game rules to allow these events to happen with only 1 or 2 players.

Dungeons & Dragons Collection is considered not only one of the rarest games for the Sega Saturn, but also of most of 32-bit era games. Copies have sold on auction sites, such as e-Bay, for over several hundred dollars. Capcom produced a very limited run of the game in Japan, which has accounted for how difficult it is to find a copy.

Dungeons & Dragons Collection is a Japan-only Sega Saturn compilation of Capcom's two Dungeons & Dragons arcade games:

• Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom (1993)
• Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara (1996)

The collection comes on two discs; Shadow Over Mystara requires the 4 MB expansion cartridge to run, but Tower of Doom does not. Both games suffer from frequent pauses to load data. The games have slight aesthetic changes from their arcade counterparts (the saving throw stick graphics have been replaced with a D-pad, and corpses and objects fade out of existence rather than flickering), and certain things that required three or four players have been adjusted to require only one or two.

While some options are configurable there can only be two players, and there is no way to select the language so the games are only in Japanese. Capcom did not set a limited number of continues like in most of their arcade conversions; both games have infinite continues, meaning players can finish the games regardless of how often they die.

This collection is considered to be very rare (Capcom only produced it for a limited time) and regularly fetches high prices on auction sites.
