'''Dragon Warrior II''', also known as '''''Dragon Quest II''''', was the second game in the Dragon Quest series of role-playing games published by [[Enix]].  Originally released in North America in 1990, the game was remade for Gameboy Color in 2000.  Another remake for the Super Famicom was never released outside of Japan.
 
==Prologue==
 
Following the defeat of the [[Dragonlord]], the hero of ''[[Dragon Warrior]]'' leaves with [[Princess Gwaelin]] in search of new lands.  Their descendent's found the kingdoms of [[Midenhall]], [[Cannock]], and [[Moonbrooke]].  And peace reigned for 100 years.
 
Then, the sorcerer [[Hargon]] attacked [[Moonbrooke|Moonbrooke Castle]], killing the king and nearly all the inhabitants.  A lone soldier journeyed to [[Midenhall]] and told their king and prince of Moonbrooke's defeat at the hands of [[Hargon]].
 
==Story==
 
After the fall of [[Moonbrooke]] at the hands of [[Hargon]] the [[Prince of Midenhall]] takes up a quest to locate his cousins, the [[Prince of Cannock]] and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]], in order to defeat [[Hargon]] and restore peace to the world.

[[Hargon]]
 
==Gameplay==
 
The gameplay, much like its predecessor, is a classic style role playing game.  Although it is much like the first [[Dragon Warrior]] in terms of the gameplay style many new features were added.  Instead of traveling alone this time around you had two other companions that joined you as you traveled on your quest.  Rather than attacking alone monsters would now fight together as well.  Another new feature was the introduction of a ship which allowed the player to travel around the whole world.  You could now save at multiple towns instead of just one and many new spells, equipment, and items were added.  Gambling also made its first appearance in the series in the form of a slot machine that you could play.
 
==Version Differences==
Since its original release on the Famicom and Nintendo Entertainment System three remakes have appeared on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Gameboy Color, and Mobile Cell Phones in Japan. All the remakes feature updated graphics and music as well as a few other new features. Originally Erdrick was the name of the legendary hero until the Gameboy Color release in 2000, where Erdrick was now known as Loto due to the new American Localization of the series. Attack animations were added in the gameboy color version.
