About this game

Dragon Warrior is a role-playing adventure developed by Chunsoft and published by Nintendo. As Erdrick's heir, you must rescue the captured Princess and recover the stolen ball of light from the Dragon-lord.

Progress depends on deductive reasoning and careful command choices rather than speed alone. Explore the world, gather three powerful mystic objects, gain experience, and improve your weapons and armor while preparing for the Dragon-lord's lair.
