Dragon Warrior

I have nothing but fond memeories of Dragon Warrior. Released in 1989 I got this for my birthday that year. To be completely honest when I first asked for this game for my birthday I did not really have any want for the game itself. I got it so my brother wouldn't. See it's like this. With my birthday being in Decemeber I would get gifts about a week before Christmas. My brothers and I had got a NES for Christmas the year before and would get us a game for our birthday if we wanted one. They wouldn't though buy the same game twice though. My brother Rusty did something, don't remember what, to make me mad so I asked for my birthday what he was going to ask for for Christmas. Normally we would have to share the games, but when our parents were not home the whole "you can't play my game" taunt would be used.

Ok now about the game. It is a pretty simple RPG, you are a knight out to save the Kingdom from the evil Dragon Lord. As you level up you get stronger, learn magic, and get better gear. For a NES game I think that the world is fairly large and a nice mix dungeons and walking around outside. My biggest beef with this game is that there is not a lot of different equipment. There are only a few different weapons and armors. Overall though a classic game that I love to play over and over again.
