{{Translation|'''''Dragon Quest'''''|ドラゴンクエスト|Doragon Kuesuto}} is the original ''Dragon Quest'' game which preceded the entire {{DQSeries}}. It was developed by [[Enix]] and released in 1986 in Japan for the [[MSX]] and {{Famicom}} consoles. The game was localized for North American release in 1989, but the title was changed to ''Dragon Warrior'' to avoid infringing on the trademark of the pen and paper game ''[[wikipedia:DragonQuest|DragonQuest]]''. The North American version of the game was greatly improved graphically over the Japanese original, and added a battery backed-up save feature and 5 password systems, whereas the Japanese version used a password system. [[Nintendo]] was impressed with the Japanese sales of the title and massively overproduced the cartridge; the end result was that Nintendo gave away copies of ''Dragon Warrior'' as an incentive for subscribing to ''[[Nintendo Power]]'', the company's in-house promotions magazine. | {{Translation|'''''Dragon Quest'''''|ドラゴンクエスト|Doragon Kuesuto}} is the original ''Dragon Quest'' game which preceded the entire {{DQSeries}}.
