Imagine that you were in the mid to late 1980's. You beat everyone you knew in all of your Atari 2600 games. Then a miracle happened. The Nintendo Entertainment System was created. You couldn't wait to try it out. You eventually got one and played/beat games such as Super Mario Bros., Mega Man, etc. Finally, Dragon Warrior came out for the NES. You saw it and you thought "Wow, this is different. I will buy it!" When you started playing it, you were hooked. You played it every day until you beat it. Why were you hooked? Because Dragon Warrior was indeed a different style of video gaming. Dragon Warrior was the very first RPG to ever be released on a console. Before this happened, RPG's were limited down to Dungeons and Dragons. If one were to play it today, he/she may not like it because it is primitive. However, that person must understand that this game became the origin of console RPG's. If it wasn't for Dragon Warrior, we would not have games like Final Fantasy, Lunar, or Chrono Trigger today. Therefore, the Normdogg rates this gem an excellent... 4/4
