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.

Further adding to frustration of non-Japanese reading fans of the game, there is no option to change the language settings to English. While not unplayable, the game is certainly harder to enjoy as a great deal revolves around text.
