Rating: - No-Frills Grindfest
Dragon Warrior is a sweet, compact little RPG.Explore some dungeons, gather some items, rescue the Princess, defeat the Dragon.There's not a lot to it and if you're just coming to it now you might wonder why you'd bother.Because it's the core of all console RPGs.Everything about this puppy's solid, including the challenge.You must build up levels or you won't survive.
One often overlooked aspect of this game, too, is how open-ended it is.Until you reach the final castle, ... Read More

- The Original, but certainly not the best
I will admit that this game created my love for RPGs, and I still hold a sense of pride in the fact that I was able to figure out how to play this game when my friends couldn't get out of the first room.I also get a sweet twinge of nostalgia that brings back my friend's house every time I hear a bar of the music from this game.
Unfortunately, all of this is personal, and not practical.Because of my love for Dragon Warrior's concept, I invested in another RPG - the original Final Fantasy. ... Read More
Rating: - Never can get too much of this game
This is probably one of the best games of its time.I think I got this game when I was in 4th grade.Loved it instantly.Later, I recieved one with my subscription to Nintendo Power.I had to let someone else enjoy this game, so I gave it to my cousin.He also loved the game.To this day, I still drag out the old Nintendo and play this.It can be quite difficult, but it's awesome.
Rating: - A classic game. But does it hold up to modern times?
I love Dragon Warrior. Please do not get me wrong. When this game was new, it introduced all of us to a different style of video games. We no longer had "snap reactions" and button mashing. Instead, avenues like strategy and exploration became much, much more important. Dragon Warrior, for its time, was fresh and very different. I recommend playing this game for everyone who wants to see how the video game RPG started.
But did this game hold up? Unfortunately no. The controls are clunky. There's ... Read More
Rating: - Created a fantastic series - best of the best.
I can't help but love this game since it was my first RPG, back in the day, and one I always compare others to.Graphics are of course limited, but given it's relative age, I think we can all look past that.
The story is simple, but, again, at this point you will want to play the game to see the foundation for the later games in this series.(Indeed, in other series' as well.)One of the best selling RPGs of all time - this has truly earned every accolade it has received.
