Dragon Warrior (NES) – Cartridge with Sleeve
Turn-Based RPG Classic | Fantasy Origins | Nintendo Power Favorite
Before Final Fantasy took hold in the U.S., Dragon Warrior introduced NES players to a vast world of castles, caves, and creeping monsters. This was Nintendo’s first major push into console RPGs, complete with overworld exploration, turn-based battles, and a quest to defeat the Dragonlord and restore peace to Alefgard. A cornerstone of retro role-playing that still holds nostalgic power today.
