It’s Time For Dragon Quest’s Big Moment

Dragon Quest’s importance stems from its place in the history of RPGs. The 1981 game Wizardry was a key early example of the “dungeon-crawler” – a genre where players create a team of heroes, equip them, and explore dangerous environments filled with monsters and treasure. Wizardry took the complex rules and calculations of tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons and adapted them for video games, bringing that same sense of adventure to a new audience for the very first time.
