The three platforms should be split according to their differences. The SNES version is upgraded from the NES version and includes an additional dungeon, and the GBC version is a further upgrade and adds a second dungeon. There is now an iOS and Android version as well, but I don't know if it's based on the SNES or GBC version...

EDIT: Seems like the Mobile version (including iOS & Android ports) is closer to the SNES version: http://toucharcade.com/2014/10/06/dragon-quest-3-preview-import-impressions/

That seems neatly summed up in under a paragraph to me, says the lumper.

There are many more changes including a game board addition and new classes, too. I went with the Walkthrough approach, which would be different in the three versions :P

We currently have 2 voices for keeping them lumped, anyone else wants to have a say?

From reading a bit on it, the SNES version looks like a remake, not a port. The personality system for example seems like a major gameplay change.
