"Release Date: January 26, 1987 (JP)
Publisher: Enix
Developer: ChunSoft
Genre: RPG
The first Dragon Warrior was a good, albeit short, RPG that wasn't the first in the genre, but was the first huge success in the genre by far. Dragon Warrior II really improves on the first Dragon Warrior in nearly every way. It also introduces a party system, so you can smush the slimes with some allies you meet on your quest, and it also brings vehicles to the Dragon Warrior series in the form of a boat you can"

"Released in Japan as Dragon Quest II in 1987, and then in North America in 1990, this title fared even worse than the original. It didn't just have to compare itself to Zelda, it also had to the much superior Final Fantasy, released 6 months prior.
