Dragon Warrior I & II is a Game Boy Color title consisting of remakes of both Dragon Warrior and Dragon Warrior II. It was developed and published by Enix, and was released in 1999 in Japan and in 2000 in North America. Dragon Warrior I & II is based on the Japan-exclusive Super Famicom compilation, Dragon Quest I + II, which features 16-bit remakes of both games. The game is on a black Game Boy Color cartridge, allowing for backward compatibility with original Game Boy units and even having unique Super Game Boy borders.

In 2001, following the success of Dragon Warrior I & II, Enix released a Game Boy Color remake of Dragon Warrior III.

Differences from the original

Both games

This remake included many changes from the original NES versions of the games, including:

  • New opening sequences and cutscenes.
  • Erdrick's name was changed to Loto.
  • More experience points and gold were rewarded for completing battles.
  • Characters leveled up at a more balanced rate.
  • Several bosses had their HP and rewards increased.
  • The script was re-translated, and several names were altered to more closely resemble their Japanese names. However, some changes were done due to limited character space.
  • The enhanced graphics and sound from the Super Famicom remakes were downgraded for the Game Boy Color.
  • Seeds that increase statistics were added. They are hidden in treasure chests, pots and drawers.
  • The addition of a Field Log, which allows players to create a quick save.
