ABOUT
Dragon Quest is a role-playing game (RPG) developed by Chunsoft and published by Enix. It was created by Yuji Horii, with character and monster designs by Akira Toriyama, the artist behind Dragon Ball, and music by Koichi Sugiyama. You play a lone hero who travels a kingdom, fights monsters in turn-based battles and grows stronger to defeat the Dragonlord.
At the time, RPGs were mostly known to computer fans. Dragon Quest explained them in a simple, friendly way and brought them to a much wider audience in Japan. Its smiling blue Slime became a famous character, and the series is still one of the most loved in the country.
