5.0 out of 5 stars Dragon Warrior, A Life-Style, October 21, 2009

Many words come to mind when someone thinks of Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest to the Japanese, and modern Dragon players.) However, is one of those words the hyphenated "life-style"?

It most certainly should be. In August, we passed the twenty-year anniversary of Dragon Warrior in North America, and many of us are still loyal to what was essentially the very first RPG for almost everyone out there. While a lot of people got their RPG starts with Final Fantasy, released in North America for the first time two years later, the fundamentals started with Dragon Quest 1.

You star as our Hero, set out on a journey of classic fantasia-- saving the Princess, slaying the Dragon (Lord), and saving the world. Yes, the very well-being of the world around you sits within your hands. What you do with it will make or break the world. Shall you return the world to the Light of the Goddess, or fall Prey to Dragon Lord's evil plans? The choice is yours in this epic journey filled with humans, monsters, and slimes.

Dragon Warrior was the original piece in what has become a largely accepted, and world wide phenom in the video game industry today. Though it harnessed no epically high numbers with its original debut, the countless recaches that have been produced ever sense have renewed the love of the series in old fans, and sparked new fans alike.

While Dragon Warrior's graphics are supremely subpar to today's standard, it is without question that the gameplay quickly outweighs the graphics and sucks players deep into a world of fantasy. Soon, the story and gameplay will place graphics into a non-factor stack, as you become hopelessly devoted to the one and only Dragon Warrior (quest) franchise!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the game that introduced me to RPG's, January 22, 2006

I got it along with a subscription to Nintendo Power. I must've been in 6th grade at the time. I wasn't impressed with the graphics (even then they weren't great), but the gameplay had me hooked! The games story is pretty standard: Kill the dragon, save the princess, find the magic sword and slay the evil wizard. It's rather simple, but addictively fun. If you have a NES laying around, get this game!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dragon Warrior, a fun game, March 21, 2006

Dragon Warrior is a game of complete skill and strategy because the player has to figure out how to get to a town without dying and gaining experience at the same time. The object of the game is to defeat the dragonlord, no more to be said except that it is hard to get a high enough level to beat any minion of the dragonlord and himself.

The controls are the easiest to tell and learn, the controls are the following:
A button is the basic action it does everything, the player press A to bring up a menu of commands. In a fight it comes up automaticly.
B button cancels a command.
Start pauses the game.
Use the control pad to move the character.
Select does nothing.

This is a really fun game and I would recommend this game to people who still have a NES(Nintendo Entertianment System).
