Dragon Quest English translation
ドラゴンクエスト · Dragon Warrior
Polinym's English translation of the original Japanese Famicom Dragon Quest, a fresh take on the text rather than the 1989 Dragon Warrior localization.
About the patch
Polinym translated the Japanese Famicom release of Dragon Quest directly into English. Version 1.3, released in March 2020, is listed as fully playable.
Why play it
The game already had an official English version, Dragon Warrior, but that release was reworked for the American market, with a mock-old English style and other changes. This patch starts from the Japanese cartridge instead, so it is an alternative reading of the original script for players curious about how the first Dragon Quest was written.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese Famicom cartridge, following the notes on its romhacking.net page.
