Dragon Quest (Japanese: ドラゴンクエスト Hepburn: Doragon Kuesuto?), also released as Dragon Warrior, was the first role-playing video game (RPG) in the Dragon Quest media franchise. It was developed by Chunsoft for the Family Computer (known in Japan as the Famicom) and published by Enix in Japan in 1986 as Dragon Quest and by Nintendo in 1989 in North America as Dragon Warrior. Dragon Quest has been ported and remade for several video game platforms, including the MSX, PC-9801, X68000, Super Famicom, Game Boy Color, and mobile phones. In play, players control a hero character who is charged with saving the Kingdom of Alefgard and rescuing its princess from the evil Dragonlord. Dragon Warrior‍ '​s story became the second part in a trilogy. Several more anime and manga games, which revolved around this overarching plot were created. Two of the new manga games take place between the events in Dragon Warrior and its prequel Dragon Quest III.
