Dragon Warrior, known in Japan as Dragon Quest, is a classic role-playing video game (RPG) developed by Chunsoft for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Released in 1986, it was one of the earliest RPGs and significantly influenced the genre. The player embarks on a quest as a hero descended from a legendary warrior, tasked with saving the kingdom of Alefgard and resciting Princess Gwaelin from the clutches of the villainous Dragonlord. Gameplay involves turn-based combat, monster battling, and quests. Offering a delightful blend of exploration, character growth, and storytelling through pixilated art, Dragon Warrior is the epitome of classic RPG gaming.
